Denied
Service connection for erectile dysfunction was denied because the condition did not have its onset in service and is not caused by an in-service event, injury, or disease. The Veteran also does not have a service-connected heart disability to base a claim for secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: The Board found no competent evidence establishing a nexus between the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and TERA, and the Veteran did not have a service-connected heart disability to support a secondary service connection claim.
