Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for service-connected other specified trauma and stressor-related disorder, denied an initial compensable rating for service-connected erectile dysfunction, and readjudicated the claims of entitlement to service connection for left and right hand numbness based on new evidence. The remaining claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their severity, frequency, and duration, while new evidence was found relevant to readjudicating the claims of entitlement to service connection for left and right hand numbness.
