Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, and residuals of left rib cage contusion to obtain a new VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The February 2013 VA medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not provide an adequate rationale specific to the Veteran's condition and circumstances regarding his exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
