Granted
The Board granted increased ratings and TDIU for PTSD, service connection for hypertension and erectile dysfunction as secondary to PTSD, and SMC based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the findings that the Veteran's service-connected conditions caused significant impairment, leading to an inability to secure or follow substantially gainful employment and entitlement to TDIU.
