Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 23, 2018 for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and restored a 60 percent evaluation for hypertensive heart disease from April 14, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The claims for increased ratings for erectile dysfunction and obstructive sleep apnea were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims for a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction or an evaluation higher than 50 percent for obstructive sleep apnea.
