Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction to obtain a medical opinion on its etiology, as it may be secondary to the Veteran's service-connected mental health disorder and/or low back disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically the lack of an examination to determine the current nature and etiology of the Veteran's ED.
