Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for benign prostatic hyperplasia, elevated PSA, and erectile dysfunction was withdrawn by the Veteran. The claims for chronic kidney disease, COPD, and headaches were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The claim for benign prostatic hyperplasia, elevated PSA, and erectile dysfunction was dismissed due to a withdrawal request from the Veteran. For the other issues, there was insufficient evidence or need for additional development before making a decision on service connection.
