Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Veteran seeks service connection for prostate cancer and its residuals, including due to Agent Orange exposure. The RO/AMC must confirm the Veteran's alleged exposure to herbicides while in Thailand and possibly Vietnam, then readjudicate his claim based on this information.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction, finding that the medical evidence did not link his condition to service.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction, finding that there was no evidence of exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides during service. The Board also found that the Veteran did not have a current disability related to his service, including prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction.

The Board found that the Veteran's diabetes, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and amputation of right toes did not have onset during service or within one year of separation from service. The evidence does not support a finding that these conditions are related to his active service including as due to any exposure to Agent Orange.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, while significant, do not render him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.

The Veteran's claims for increased rating, service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, and service connection for erectile dysfunction are being remanded to the RO for further development.

The Veteran's claim is being remanded due to the need for a VA examination to determine the etiology of his penile deformity and whether it is secondary to a service-connected disability.

The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have penis deformity and therefore, a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction is not warranted.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining VA treatment records and scheduling examinations to address the Veteran's diabetes mellitus and erectile dysfunction.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for type II diabetes mellitus, claimed as secondary to Agent Orange exposure, is denied because there is no evidence of herbicide exposure during service and the disease was not shown to be related to service.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not encompass any disability of the eyes or upper extremities, and his lower extremity conditions are not severe enough to qualify for specially adapted housing or a special home adaptation grant.

The Board denied the claims for service connection for PTSD, Erectile Dysfunction, Bilateral Hearing Loss Disability, and Tinnitus due to lack of credible evidence supporting in-service stressors.

The Veteran's PTSD is rated at 50% and all other service-connected conditions are rated as requested. The Veteran was granted increased ratings for his PTSD, but the other claims were denied.

The Veteran is eligible for vocational and rehabilitation services under the provisions of Chapter 31, Title 38, United States Code beyond March 23, 2006.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including hypertension, peripheral neuropathy, cardiovascular heart disease, vitiligo, and erectile dysfunction, all secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus. The appeal was not about service connection at all.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not render him incapable of securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities are of such severity as to preclude him from securing and following some form of substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and work experience, warranting a total rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability.

The Board finds that the preponderance of the evidence is against a finding that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and peripheral neuropathy, left upper extremity are proximately due to or related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is not proximately due to or the result of his service-connected PTSD, and therefore denied the claim for service connection.
