The Veteran's claims for service connection for a genitourinary condition, to include erectile dysfunction, and a neurological condition, to include headaches, have been granted.,New evidence received after the denial of these claims has established that the conditions had their onset during active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's statements regarding the onset of his erectile dysfunction and headaches during service were credible, despite negative nexus opinions from VA examiners. The temporal relationship between the disabilities and service was considered more significant than an etiological link.
