The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, and granted an initial 10 percent rating for right lower extremity radiculopathy from December 1, 2007, through February 11, 2020.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's ED and urinary incontinence were caused by his service-connected back disability, and resolving all reasonable doubt in his favor, service connection was granted for both conditions. For the radiculopathy, mild incomplete paralysis of the right sciatic nerve was found during this period.
