Board reasoning
The Board found that a VA examination and medical opinion were warranted to determine whether the veteran has a current erectile disability and whether it is caused or aggravated by service-connected hypertension, including consideration of medications used to treat hypertension. It also noted the need to obtain private treatment records and to address Saunders v. Wilkie in determining current disability, with remand to obtain records and schedule an examination.
