Denied
The Board denied service connection for erectile dysfunction to include as secondary to lumbar spine degenerative arthritis, depression, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a direct causal link between the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and any of his service-connected disabilities, and there was no persuasive evidence linking the condition to service or its natural progression.
