The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and PTSD, but denied an earlier effective date for asthma. The claims for erectile dysfunction, a recurrent right foot disability, and an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for asthma were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence supporting the onset of tinnitus and PTSD during active service, while the evidence did not support an earlier effective date for asthma or grant service connection for erectile dysfunction, a recurrent right foot disability, or an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for asthma.
