Granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to post-traumatic stress disorder and residuals of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma based on the persuasive evidence that these conditions caused the Veteran's ED.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion from B.W., DO, was more persuasive than the VA examiner's opinion because it provided a well-reasoned rationale consistent with the evidence of record.
