The Board has dismissed the appeals for service connection due to the appellant's death.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including diabetes mellitus type II, diabetic nephropathy, erectile dysfunction, and peripheral neuropathy of the lower extremities, are being remanded for further evaluation due to a potential worsening since his last VA examination in June 2015.

The Board denied the claim for service connection.,The Veteran's erectile dysfunction was also not incurred during service and is not related to his service-connected depressive and anxiety disorders. The Board denied the secondary service connection claim.
