Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The private clinician's positive nexus opinion was more persuasive than the VA examiners' opinions, supporting a direct link between the Veteran's active service and his prostate cancer. The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is also found to be proximately due to his service-connected prostate cancer.
