Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Board denied service connection for cervical spine, neck and shoulder disorders, thoracic spine disorder, bowel incontinence, urinary incontinence, and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the veteran's service-connected residuals of a low back injury.

The veteran's service-connected disabilities do not meet the criteria for specially adapted housing or special home adaptation grants due to his overall disability picture.

The veteran's service connection claims for various conditions, including diabetes mellitus type 2 and hearing loss, are granted based on presumed exposure to herbicide agents during his Vietnam-era service.

The veteran claims service connection for erectile dysfunction and loss of bladder control, which are secondary to his service-connected hypertrophy of the prostate with history of hematospermia. The claim is currently denied as there is no VA medical opinion linking these conditions directly to his service-connected condition.

The Board has remanded the case due to the need for additional examinations and development of evidence related to service connection claims.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for skin cancer and erectile dysfunction, finding no current diagnosis of these conditions in service or after service. The Board also found that there was no evidence linking these disabilities to herbicide exposure in service.

The veteran's claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction, skin disorder, hypertension, residuals of brain surgery, benign prostatic hypertrophy (claimed as prostate), and hepatitis were denied. The Board found that the evidence did not show a relationship between these conditions and active military service.

The veteran's service-connected disabilities do not meet the criteria for specially adapted housing assistance or special home adaptation grant, automobile and adaptive equipment, or SMC based on need for regular aid and attendance or being housebound.

The Board has determined that additional development is needed to determine if the veteran's nonservice-connected erectile dysfunction was caused or aggravated by his service-connected disabilities, including medications for PTSD, hypertension, diabetes and residuals of a left ankle disability.

The Board has determined that the veteran's hypertension is related to his period of active military service and granted service connection for this condition. The veteran's erectile dysfunction, which was previously rated as noncompensably disabling, is now rated at a 20 percent disability rating.

The Board found that the veteran's erectile dysfunction was not incurred in or aggravated by service, and denied the claim.

The Board found no basis to allow the veteran's claim for VA compensation for erectile dysfunction, as it is not shown to have had its onset during active service and there is no medical opinion demonstrating an objective link between the veteran's erectile dysfunction and his period of active military service.

The veteran's service-connected disabilities do not render him unemployable, as he has not provided evidence that his conditions prevent him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment.

The veteran's claim for increased ratings for cervical disc disease and erectile dysfunction was denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction, as there was no deformity of the penis.

The Board denied the veteran's claim to reopen his service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to service-connected diabetes mellitus, finding that no new and material evidence had been submitted.

The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected erectile dysfunction does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, as there is no evidence of penile deformity.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling examinations to determine the severity of the veteran's service-connected conditions.

The veteran's claim for service connection for chloracne is granted. The initial evaluations for diabetes mellitus and erectile dysfunction are maintained at 20%.

The veteran's service-connected conditions do not meet the criteria for specially adapted housing or a special home adaptation grant due to his inability to use an electric scooter, walker, or cane as a normal mode of locomotion.

The Board has determined that the veteran's erectile dysfunction is not related to his service or a service-connected disability, and thus denied his claim for service connection.
