The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for neurogenic bladder, as there was no current diagnosis of the condition.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a current disability of neurogenic bladder and the Veteran has not been diagnosed with such a condition during the pendency of his claim or recent to its filing.
