The Board granted service connection for splenectomy with splenic lymphangioma and denied a compensable disability rating for erectile dysfunction, abdominal scars, and a ventral hernia.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's current diagnosis of splenic lymphangioma had its onset during active service, leading to the grant of service connection. However, there was no basis for assigning a compensable disability rating for erectile dysfunction and abdominal scars based on the evidence provided.
