Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent evaluation for obstructive sleep apnea but denied a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction. The remaining issues are remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea required the use of a breathing assistance device, warranting a 50 percent rating. However, there was no evidence to support a higher rating or a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction.
