Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction to obtain a more comprehensive medical opinion addressing whether it was caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected mental health condition and other risk factors.
The deciding factor: The January 2025 VA clinician did not provide a sufficient opinion regarding aggravation as a theory of entitlement, and there are multiple significant risk factors for erectile dysfunction that need to be considered in the nexus opinion.
