The Board granted service connection for prostatitis and fatigue, but remanded several other claims related to the veteran's lower extremities and back.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on evidence of in-service symptoms and post-service continuity of those symptoms, as well as a Gulf War-related etiology for fatigue. The other claims were remanded due to insufficient medical evidence regarding additional functional loss during flares and after repetitive use.
