Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for testicular hypofunction, finding a positive nexus to in-service toxic exposure. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disability was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The February 2025 medical opinion provided a positive nexus between the Veteran's testicular hypofunction and his in-service toxic exposures, while the January 2025 VA examiner did not provide sufficient evidence to support a link between the psychiatric disability and service.
