The veteran's hypertension has also been found to be aggravated by his diabetes mellitus.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the veteran had a current disability of hyperlipidemia, and therefore service connection was denied.,Service connection for erectile dysfunction secondary to diabetes mellitus was granted based on medical opinions indicating that the condition is caused by the veteran's diabetes. The Board also found that hypertension was aggravated by the veteran's diabetes.
