The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the acquired psychiatric disorder. The Veteran was also granted increased ratings for his right leg condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence established a current disability, in-service incurrence, and a nexus between the claimed conditions and service or a service-connected condition.
