Partly granted
The veteran's request for an increased rating for PTSD, anxiety disorder, and nightmare disorder was denied. The claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction, including herbicide exposure and as secondary to PTSD, was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's PTSD symptoms did not warrant a rating in excess of 70 percent, and further medical opinion evidence is required for the erectile dysfunction claim.
