Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hemorrhoids, colon polyps, and erectile dysfunction as additional medical opinions are required to address causation and aggravation.
The deciding factor: The secondary service connection opinions provided by the examiners were found inadequate as they did not fully address both causation and aggravation.
