The Veteran's appeals for service connection and a higher rating were dismissed due to improper docketing.

The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have current disabilities of erectile dysfunction, bilateral hand condition, right lower extremity radiculopathy, or plasmacytoma myeloma (blood) related to his active service. The claims for these conditions are denied. Additionally, the Board has found that there is insufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran's sleep apnea and left shoulder disability are related to his active service.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection were denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support a higher rating or service connection for any of the conditions.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings of erectile dysfunction and diabetes, as well as his claim for service connection for sleep disorders secondary to a service-connected disability, are denied.

The Veteran's combined service-connected rating is 90 percent, which does not meet the criteria for a 100 percent rating.

The Board has dismissed all the issues of appeal due to the Veteran's withdrawal of his appeal.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, migraine headaches, tinnitus, hearing loss, and erectile dysfunction, precluded him from obtaining or maintaining a substantially gainful occupation prior to January 8, 2022.

The Board has dismissed all service connection appeals due to the Veteran's death.

The claim for ED was also denied.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to PTSD has been granted. The claims for increased ratings and service connection have been remanded.

The Board has remanded the claims for further development due to missing service treatment records and outstanding private medical records. The Veteran's SSN may be incorrect, and a search should be conducted using both correct and incorrect numbers.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction, right shoulder condition, and pseudofolliculitis barbae were denied. The denial of the claim for erectile dysfunction was based on lack of evidence showing it is related to service or secondary to his service-connected adjustment disorder with depressed mood. The denial of the right shoulder condition claim was due to a lack of medical evidence linking the current pain to service. The denial of the pseudofolliculitis barbae claim was because the disability does not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The Veteran's TDIU claim was denied prior to March 14, 2019 due to insufficient evidence showing he could not secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation solely by reason of his service-connected disabilities. From March 14, 2019, the Veteran's TDIU claim was granted as his combined disability rating met the schedular criteria.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for heart disability, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction due to inadequate medical opinions. The Veteran is being asked to provide new VA examinations to determine if his conditions are related to service exposure.
