Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a left hand disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome but granted service connection for erectile dysfunction, which is linked to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's erectile dysfunction was found to be at least as likely as not caused or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
