Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for prostatic hypertrophy but denied service connection for hernia disability, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), bladder incontinence, and renal toxicity.
The deciding factor: The April 2025 VA examiner's positive nexus opinion for the Veteran's prostatic hypertrophy outweighed the negative opinions regarding the other conditions, leading to a mixed disposition.
