Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, erectile dysfunction, and a right knee condition to cure pre-decisional duty to assist errors and obtain new VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate medical opinions and omissions of lay assertions in the January 2022 examination reports.
