The Board granted service connection for urinary frequency and acne, as well as a total disability rating due to individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claims based on direct service connection for urinary frequency and secondary service connection for acne. The Veteran was also found unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to her service-connected disabilities.
