Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left shoulder strain as secondary to the service-connected right shoulder osteoarthritis, denied service connection for erectile dysfunction, and remanded the claim for a low back disability as secondary to the service-connected pes planus.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the left shoulder strain is caused by the service-connected right shoulder osteoarthritis, while there is no evidence linking the erectile dysfunction or the low back disabilities to service or any service-connected condition.
