Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction, as secondary to service-connected disabilities. An initial 10 percent rating was assigned for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The effective date of the IBS award was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's current conditions and his military service, particularly when resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran.
