The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction, as secondary to the service-connected prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a nexus between the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during service and his current diagnosis of prostate cancer. Additionally, the December 2023 VA medical opinion established that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is caused and/or aggravated by his service-connected prostate cancer.
