The Board denied service connection for a chronic respiratory disability and remanded the issue of service connection for male erectile dysfunction, to include as due to service-connected hypertension.

The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's respiratory disorder had onset in service or is otherwise etiologically related to his service. The Board also found no competent medical evidence linking the Veteran's current respiratory disorder to the acute respiratory condition during service.
