Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Veteran's earlier effective dates for service connection for prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, and SMC based on loss of use of a creative organ have been granted.,Prostate cancer was granted due to presumed exposure under the Blue Water Navy Act. Erectile dysfunction is considered a known complication of prostate cancer.

The evidence does not support a relationship between the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and his depression.

The evidence does not support a finding that any of these conditions began during or are otherwise related to active service.

The Veteran's TDIU claim is being remanded for a determination on whether he should have been granted TDIU prior to February 23, 2021.
