Partly granted
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for migraine headaches and granted service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to a service-connected condition, while remanding claims for service connection for GERD, left hip disability, back disability, and left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's erectile dysfunction was found to be aggravated by his service-connected migraine headaches, but an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for migraine headaches was denied due to the lack of evidence showing an earlier onset or aggravation beyond natural progression.
