The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is granted as service-connected, being secondary to medication prescribed for a service-connected disability. The claim for a seizure or seizure-like disorder is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the erectile dysfunction is secondary to medication prescribed for a service-connected disability. For the seizure or seizure-like disorder, additional development is needed due to incomplete VA treatment records and the need for a clarifying medical opinion.
