Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, tension headaches, and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with unspecified depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative medical opinions from Dr. P.W., a licensed psychologist, concluded that it is more likely than not that the Veteran's sleep apnea, tension headaches, and erectile dysfunction are related to his service-connected PTSD with unspecified depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder.
