Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction and denied service connection for left foot tendonitis. The Veteran's gastroesophageal reflux disease and bilateral pes planus with plantar fasciitis were rated in excess of 10 percent and 50 percent, respectively.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the onset of ED during service, while there was no evidence of left foot tendonitis at any time during its pendency. The Veteran's GERD did not result in considerable or severe impairment of health, and his pes planus with plantar fasciitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
