Granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided by PA-C M. B. and APRN G. U. supported the claims, establishing a causal relationship between the Veteran's PTSD and both conditions based on medical literature and symptomatology.
