Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected unspecified depressive disorder, resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran. The claim for erectile dysfunction was remanded due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a favorable nexus opinion linking the Veteran's sleep apnea to his service-connected unspecified depressive disorder, while the erectile dysfunction claim required further development.
