Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain a VA medical opinion that addresses whether the Veteran's prostate hypertrophy is secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus type II and/or coronary artery disease.
The deciding factor: The examiner's rationale suggests that the Veteran's BPH may have been associated with these disabilities, raising theories of secondary service connection.
