REASONS FOR REMAND
The Veteran served on active duty from April 2001 to September 2005.
The Veteran filed a claim for peripheral neuropathy, claimed as radiculopathy, right leg, erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, in January 2010.  He claimed all of these conditions were secondary to his service-connected lumbar spine disability.  In April 2008, the Veteran added the claim of sacroiliitis.  
A rating decision was issued on all four claims in February 2011 and the Veteran filed a timely Notice of Disagreement (NOD) in April 2011.  However, the RO never issued a Statement of the Case (SOC) addressing any of these issues.  In January 2014, the RO issued an SOC in response to a prior Board remand.  This SOC addressed the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for his service-connected lumbar spine disability.
1. Entitlement to service connection for peripheral neuropathy is remanded.
Regarding the claim of entitlement to service connection for peripheral neuropathy, the Veteran submitted a timely notice of disagreement with a February 2011 rating decision, but a statement of the case has not yet been issued.  A remand is required for the AOJ to issue a statement of the case.  38 C.F.R. § 20.200; Manlincon v. West, 12 Vet. App. 238, 240-41 (1999).
2. Entitlement to service connection for sacroiliitis is remanded.
Regarding the claim of entitlement to service connection for sacroiliitis, the Veteran submitted a timely notice of disagreement with a February 2011 rating decision, but a statement of the case has not yet been issued.  A remand is required for the AOJ to issue a statement of the case.  38 C.F.R. § 20.200; Manlincon v. West, 12 Vet. App. 238, 240-41 (1999).
3. Entitlement to service connection for erectile dysfunction is remanded.
Regarding the claim of entitlement to service connection for erectile dysfunction, the Veteran submitted a timely notice of disagreement with a February 2011 rating decision, but a statement of the case has not yet been issued.  A remand is required for the AOJ to issue a statement of the case.  38 C.F.R. § 20.200; Manlincon v. West, 12 Vet. App. 238, 240-41 (1999).
4. Entitlement to service connection for urinary incontinence is remanded.
Regarding the claim of entitlement to service connection for urinary incontinence, the Veteran submitted a timely notice of disagreement with a February 2011 rating decision, but a statement of the case has not yet been issued.  A remand is required for the AOJ to issue a statement of the case.  38 C.F.R. § 20.200; Manlincon v. West, 12 Vet. App. 238, 240-41 (1999).
The matters are REMANDED for the following action:
Send the Veteran and his representative a statement of the case that addresses the issues of entitlement to service connection for peripheral neuropathy, sacroiliitis, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence.  If the Veteran perfects an appeal by submitting a timely VA Form 9, the issues should be returned to the Board for further appellate consideration.
