Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for generalized anxiety disorder and fasciculations and muscle spasms, but denied service connection for erectile dysfunction and urinary urgency and frequency disorder. The claim for bilateral pes planus was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's GAD and fasciculations/muscle spasms and their onset during active service, while there was no such evidence linking ED or bladder disorder to service or a service-connected condition.
