Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The private examiner provided positive nexus opinions linking the Veteran's OSA and ED to his major depressive disorder and anxiety-based symptomatology, which was later service connected in January 2025.
