The Board dismissed the appeal for an increased rating and service connection claims as withdrawn or moot, denied service connection for polycythemia vera, and remanded claims for erectile dysfunction and hypertension.
The deciding factor: The issues were either dismissed due to withdrawal or mooted by subsequent grants, or remanded for further development of evidence regarding potential secondary causes related to the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability.
