Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of April 5, 2018, for the award of service connection for PTSD and denied earlier effective dates for erectile dysfunction, left ear hearing loss, migraines, and other conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the continuous pursuit of the claim by the Veteran within one year of separation from service, with evidence supporting the direct service connection theory.
