The Board denied service connection for urinary frequency as it is not related to the Veteran's service or a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's urinary frequency is related to his service or any service-connected condition, and the VA examiner opined that it was caused by his diabetes mellitus, which is not service connected.
