Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for unspecified depressive disorder and erectile dysfunction, to include as secondary to unspecified depressive disorder, due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions of record are found inadequate, necessitating an addendum opinion to cure the pre-decisional duty to assist error.
