Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to PTSD and awarded effective dates of February 17, 2022, for the awards of service connection for migraines and tinnitus. The Board denied an earlier effective date for emphysema and other issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is due to his service-connected PTSD, and the claims for earlier effective dates are not supported by the evidence.
