Granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction, right knee strain, left knee strain, pseudofolliculitis barbae, somatic symptom disorder with predominant pain and generalized anxiety disorder, and throbbing head pain on a direct basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's disabilities had onset in service, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
