Partly granted
The Veteran's left epididymo-orchitis with left hydrocele was granted a rating of 20 percent prior to September 21, 2018, and 40 percent effective from that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's nighttime urinary problems causing awakening to void at least 3 times per night warranted the increased ratings.
