The Board granted service connection for urinary frequency, erectile dysfunction, and tinnitus based on the evidence showing that these conditions are caused by or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's urinary dysfunction disability is caused by his service-connected OSA. The outside provider's opinion was found most probative, and similarly for erectile dysfunction based on the May 2021 outside provider's opinion that it is secondary to generalized anxiety disorder.
