Granted
The Board granted service connection for a genitourinary condition, to include neurogenic bladder and urinary incontinence, finding that the Veteran's condition is proximately related to his service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence supports a finding that the Veteran's genitourinary condition is at least as likely as not associated with his service-connected hypertension due to the diuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide, which was prescribed for blood pressure control.
