Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion to clarify the etiology of the Veteran's claimed erectile dysfunction, as the previous opinion was insufficient.
The deciding factor: The previous VA clinician did not provide sufficient rationale for their negative nexus opinion and an additional opinion is needed to address the Veteran's lay statements regarding the onset of symptoms and potential relationship to service-connected conditions.
