Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and remanded the claim for erectile dysfunction (ED), to include as secondary to hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his period of active service, with the exception that an examination was needed for the ED claim due to possible secondary service connection through a service-connected disability.
