Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of erectile dysfunction to ensure that the VA examiner adequately addresses the Veteran's lay statements and provides a medical opinion in line with the previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: The September 2025 VA examiner failed to address the Veteran's lay statements regarding his groin injury sustained in service, which is necessary for a proper determination of service connection.
