Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is not deemed to be the result of VA treatment, and thus compensation benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 are denied.

The Veteran's claim of entitlement to a total disability rating for compensation based on individual unemployability is being remanded due to the need for further evidentiary development, including an examination to determine his ability to work given his service-connected disabilities.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection were denied. The claim for erectile dysfunction was not substantiated due to lack of evidence of penile deformity, while the right ankle disability claim was withdrawn by the Veteran.

The Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable disability rating for erectile dysfunction has been withdrawn, resulting in the dismissal of his appeal.

The Veteran is seeking service connection for various conditions, including sleep apnea, hypertension, peripheral neuropathy of the lower extremities, and erectile dysfunction, all claimed as secondary to his service-connected type II diabetes mellitus. The case is being remanded due to the Veteran's request for a videoconference hearing.

The Veteran withdrew his appeal for an initial compensable rating for service-connected erectile dysfunction.

The claim for service connection for pancreatitis has been reopened, and the Board finds that new and material evidence has been presented. Service connection is granted for diabetes mellitus type II with minimal background retinopathy and cataracts, but no higher or earlier rating is warranted. Ratings of 10 percent are assigned for peripheral neuropathy of both lower extremities and erectile dysfunction.

The Veteran's appeal involves a request for an increased rating for PTSD, and the RO has denied service connection for sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction. The case is being remanded to obtain additional evidence, including SSA records and VA examinations.

The Board has decided to remand the case due to confusion regarding whether the Veteran desires a hearing and because there is inconclusive medical evidence on whether his erectile dysfunction is related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus. The AOJ will need to clarify this issue and arrange for another VA examination.

The Board has remanded the case due to a requested hearing change, and no other specific summary of issues or outcomes.

The Veteran has withdrawn his appeals, effectively ending the appeal process.

The Board has dismissed the issue of entitlement to service connection for hypertensive vascular disease.

The Veteran's case is being remanded to the RO for consideration of additional evidence submitted since the most recent Supplemental Statement of the Case in January 2009. The Veteran and his representative will be provided with an SSOC if the claim remains denied.
