Granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II. The Veteran was also awarded special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's diabetes mellitus, type II is etiologically related to his in-service toxic exposure and that his erectile dysfunction is caused by his service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II.
