Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus type 2 was denied. The claim for erectile dysfunction due to Camp Lejeune water contamination was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of chronic symptoms or continuous symptoms of diabetes during service, and the VA examiner could not provide an opinion due to illegible records; the medical opinion on erectile dysfunction lacked a sufficient rationale.
