The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction (ED) secondary to the Veteran's service-connected Parkinson's disease and remanded claims for higher ratings and an earlier effective date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's ED was found to be related to his service-connected Parkinson's disease, supporting a grant of secondary service connection. The other issues were remanded due to insufficient evidence regarding their severity and potential interweaving with nonservice-connected conditions.
