Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for PTSD and erectile dysfunction, to include as secondary to diabetes mellitus, type II, due to the Veteran's failure to appear for scheduled VA examinations without good cause.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the Veteran did not receive adequate notice for the VA examination and will remand the matter so that the Veteran can obtain a VA examination prior to a determination on the merits.
