Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of erectile dysfunction as secondary to obstructive sleep apnea was granted. Other claims were remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction was caused by his service-connected obstructive sleep apnea, based on a private medical opinion and the absence of sufficient evidence to reject this opinion.
