Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction, secondary to hypertension, was granted. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, paranoid reaction, and insomnia, was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is at least as likely as not related to his service-connected hypertension.
