The Board granted service connection for urinary frequency as secondary to diabetes mellitus, type II (DMII), but remanded the issue of service connection for vertigo.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's urinary frequency is proximately due to his DMII based on competent and probative evidence. The VA examination report for vertigo was found inadequate and a new examination is required.
