Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic urinary tract infections, diabetes mellitus, benign prostatic hypertrophy, hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia, hypertension, and special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance/housebound status.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against a nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and active duty service, including TERA exposures.
