The Board denied service connection for urinary tract infection (UTI) and remanded claims for post-micturition dribbling and cervical radiculopathy, left upper extremity.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current UTI diagnosis at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim. The VA examiner opined that the claimed condition was less likely than not proximately due to or the result of the Veteran's service-connected condition and was less likely than not caused by the indicated toxic exposure risk activity(ies).
