The Board granted presumptive service connection for prostate cancer, and service connection for erectile dysfunction and incontinence as secondary to the service-connected prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service in the territorial waters of the Republic of Vietnam, which led to the granting of service connection for prostate cancer. The Board also found that the current erectile dysfunction and incontinence are secondary to the service-connected prostate cancer.
