The Board granted service connection for urinary retention (also noted as incontinence) and found that the reduction of the disability evaluation for prostate cancer, s/p with residual bladder/urinary dysfunction, from 20 percent to noncompensable was improper.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show sustained material improvement under ordinary conditions of life and work, and new and relevant evidence had been received regarding urinary retention/incontinence.
