Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The claim for erectile dysfunction was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's OSA and his active duty service, while an adequate medical opinion is needed to determine if ED is secondary to his service-connected adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
