Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction, gastroparesis, and peripheral neuropathy in both arms and legs. The Board found that VA examinations were needed to determine the nature and etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that pre-decisional errors occurred because VA examinations were not conducted despite evidence indicating a potential link between the veteran's service and the claimed disabilities.
