Denied
The Board denied service connection for erectile dysfunction as it was not causally or etiologically related to the Veteran's active duty service, including any exposure to asbestos.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner opined that ED was less likely than not caused by the conceded asbestos exposure and linked the condition more closely to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which had a later diagnosis than the onset of ED symptoms.
