Erectile dysfunction decisions — 2008

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a lymph node disorder and benign prostatic hyperplasia with erectile dysfunction, both claimed as secondary to Agent Orange exposure. The Board found no current diagnosis of these conditions and concluded that they were not incurred in or aggravated by service.

The veteran is seeking compensation for erectile dysfunction under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. � 1151, but his claim was denied due to lack of informed consent and incomplete medical records. The Board has ordered a remand to obtain additional VA and private treatment records, provide proper VCAA notice, and schedule a VA examination.

The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for peripheral neuropathy, right lower extremity peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, and erectile dysfunction. The conditions are not found to be related to his active service or directly caused by his service-connected diabetes mellitus.
