Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction (ED) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with major depressive disorder. The claim for headaches was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided a positive nexus between ED and the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, while the VA examination opinions were found inadequate due to their failure to consider the Veteran's lay statements and relevant studies.
