Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, obstructive sleep apnea, and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the Veteran's already service-connected conditions of tinnitus, PTSD, and hypertension respectively.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion linking each condition to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, which satisfied the third element for establishing service connection on a secondary basis.
