Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to clarify whether the Veteran has a current diagnosis of female sexual arousal dysfunction and to determine if it is proximately caused or aggravated by her service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The July 2022 medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not consider all relevant evidence, including prior reports of sleep impairment from service-connected joint pain and GERD, and failed to address aggravation theory.
