Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction, asthma, thickening pleura, and sleep apnea to obtain additional medical evidence regarding their relationship to in-service toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to insufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the claimed disabilities and in-service toxic exposure risk activities, necessitating TERA examinations.
