Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for tinnitus and erectile dysfunction (ED) to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to missing community care records, conflicting TERA memoranda, and an inadequate VA examination regarding secondary causation and aggravation of ED by a back disability.
