Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but remanded the claim for erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a credible lay statement establishing an in-service assault, which caused an acquired psychiatric disorder. OSA was found to be secondary to weight gain caused by the service-connected psychiatric condition.
