Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraine headaches and remanded the claim for erectile dysfunction, finding no evidence linking either condition to the Veteran's military service or toxic exposures.
The deciding factor: The negative nexus opinions from VA examiners, considering the temporal gap between service and onset of symptoms, lack of documented in-service symptoms, and multifactorial nature of the conditions, outweighed the Veteran's lay assertions.
