The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for sexual dysfunction, finding no relationship between his military service or a service-connected condition and his current disability. The evidence did not support a link between the veteran's prostatitis and his sexual dysfunction.
The deciding factor: There was no competent medical evidence linking the veteran's sexual dysfunction to his military service or a service-connected condition.
