Granted
The Board granted service connection for decreased libido and ejaculation failure and hemorrhoids as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Service connection is warranted based on the but-for causation standard, which allows for multiple causes of a harm. The side effects of PTSD medication are linked to the Veteran's current disabilities.
