Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and granted service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to GAD, while remanding the claim for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's erectile dysfunction was proximately caused by a service-connected disability; however, the criteria for an increased rating for GAD were not met.
