Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for compensation pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for erectile dysfunction and service connection for erectile dysfunction, secondary to service-connected PTSD due to an inadequate VA etiological opinion.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA etiological opinion is deemed inadequate as it did not address the elements required for compensation pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1151 and failed to consider the Veteran's June 2023 prescription for psychiatric medications and any symptoms of service-connected PTSD.
