The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to service-connected PTSD and a 10 percent rating, but not higher, for GERD. The remaining issues were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for erectile dysfunction due to its association with service-connected PTSD, while the lack of competent evidence of current disability or nexus precluded granting service connection for rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. A 10 percent rating was assigned for GERD as it did not produce considerable impairment of health.
