Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA medical opinion to properly consider direct and secondary theories of entitlement.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA opinion did not adequately address whether in-service balanitis could have caused or contributed to ED, nor did it provide an opinion on secondary service connection based on the Veteran's lumbar spine disorder.
