Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for prostate cancer, status post radical prostatectomy with residuals and erectile dysfunction due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not address whether the Veteran's current diagnosis is etiologically related to his service on a direct basis, necessitating a remand for an addendum medical opinion.
