Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues to correct errors in the duty to assist. The Veteran's claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, erectile dysfunction, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and obstructive sleep apnea will be reconsidered with new medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the initial medical opinions were inadequate and additional guidance is required to determine the etiology of the Veteran's disabilities.
