Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for erectile dysfunction but granted service connection for major depression secondary to a back condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a causal relationship between the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and his military service, while there was medical nexus supporting that his major depression is proximately caused by his now-service-connected back condition.
