The Board granted service connection for urinary incontinence due to chronic constipation, which is already service-connected. The appeal for dizziness/vertigo was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection for urinary incontinence was granted based on a secondary theory of entitlement as it is due to the Veteran's service-connected chronic constipation. The claim for dizziness/vertigo was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination that did not consider all relevant diagnoses.
