Partly granted
The appeal was partially granted and dismissed, with service connection for urinary incontinence being granted while other claims were either denied or remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that urinary incontinence was caused by the Veteran's service-connected back disability, but short-term memory loss was a symptom of his PTSD rather than a separate condition.
