Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an addendum opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and service, including claimed toxic exposure, as well as whether it is caused or aggravated by his service-connected other specified trauma-and-stressor-related disorder with persistent depressive disorder and specified personality disorder with obsessive-compulsive and paranoid traits.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address the August 2015 VA treatment record indicating sexual side effects from sertraline, nor did they provide an opinion on aggravation or direct service connection.
