Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction (ED) as secondary to major depressive disorder with anxious distress. The claims for gastroesophageal reflux disease, diabetes mellitus type II, and sinusitis were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise regarding the link between ED and MDD, so the benefit of the doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
