Denied
The Board denied service connection for heart disease, eye injury, and erectile dysfunction. The Veteran's PTSD with persistent depressive disorder does not warrant a rating in excess of 70 percent, and the prostate cancer does not require a higher rating or additional benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to service or his service-connected disabilities.
