Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, but denied an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction and hearing loss.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence supporting a direct link to active service. The denial of a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction and hearing loss was due to insufficient evidence showing these conditions were more than noncompensably disabling.
