Partly granted
Service connection for PTSD is granted. The issues of service connection for erectile dysfunction and entitlement to SMC based on loss of use are remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence for service connection for the acquired psychiatric disorder is at least evenly balanced, so the benefit of the doubt applies.
