Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction as it is not secondary to his service-connected lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is less likely than not due to or aggravated by his service-connected lumbar spine disability, and there is no other evidence supporting a direct link between the condition and military service.
