Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for urinary frequency and remanded the claims for service connection for hypertension and TDIU. The lumbosacral strain was granted a 20 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of urinary frequency, but there was muscle spasm or guarding severe enough to result in an abnormal gait for the lumbosacral strain.
