Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction (ED) as they were not related to the Veteran's active service or caused by a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that both conditions were less likely than not proximately due to or the result of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, with sleep apnea attributed primarily to obesity and ED linked more closely to low testosterone levels.
