Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a digestive disorder and erectile dysfunction (ED) to afford the Veteran VA examinations and obtain medical opinions addressing the etiology of his reported symptoms.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examination opinion regarding ED was found inadequate, and a new examination is needed. For the digestive disorder claim, there is insufficient competent evidence on file for the Board to make a decision, necessitating a remand for a medical examination and opinion.
