Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus type II and remanded the claims for erectile dysfunction and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran was exposed to herbicides, which led to the granting of service connection for diabetes mellitus type II. The other claims were remanded due to a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the rating decision on appeal.
