Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Board has determined that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction and hypertension are related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus, and thus grants service connection for these conditions on a secondary basis.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for additional development due to new evidence received since the last statement of the case. The issues include service connection for various conditions, including coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus, all presumed to be related to herbicide exposure.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is less likely than not proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected thoracolumbar spine and lower extremity disabilities, including medications taken for these conditions. Therefore, the claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction is denied.

The Board has granted service connection for hypertension and erectile dysfunction (ED) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD. The claim for an increased rating for PTSD is remanded.

The Veteran's prostate cancer with urinary dysfunction and erectile dysfunction are not rated higher than the current levels, and his TDIU claim is remanded for further development.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection of erectile dysfunction, finding that it is not related to his service or a service-connected condition.

The Board has granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, a GI disability, hiatal hernia, and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities. The claims for left arm fracture, left thumb fracture, left-hand scar, and diaphoresis are denied.

The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate compliance with its previous directives. The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is being reviewed for secondary service connection.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including prostate cancer and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation. The Board has granted entitlement to total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU).

The Board has determined that the Veteran's claimed low back disability, sciatic radiculopathy of the lower extremities, right and left hip arthroplasty, and erectile dysfunction are not service-connected as they were not shown during active service or within one year post-service, and there is no evidence linking these conditions to service or a service-connected condition.

The Board has denied service connection for bladder cancer, prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, an acquired psychiatric disability, and a hernia disability as these conditions are not related to the Veteran's military service.

The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is granted as secondary to his service-connected BPH. The right and left foot hammer toes are remanded for further development.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for left knee disability, bilateral foot disability, sleep apnea, and erectile dysfunction due to a lack of evidence linking these conditions to his active duty or reserve service.

The Board has remanded the claims of service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, erectile dysfunction, tissue damage, nerve damage, and an eye disability (right eye) due to incomplete compliance with previous remand directives.

The Board has decided that the claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction should be remanded due to a pending request for SSA records.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for erectile dysfunction and migraines due to service-connected allergic rhinitis. The claims are being returned for further development, including obtaining medical opinions that comply with the new legal standard.

The Board dismissed the appeal due to the appellant's withdrawal of his appeal.

The Board has granted a separate compensable disability rating of 20 percent for the Veteran's penile deformity with loss of erectile power associated with his diabetes mellitus type II, but denied an increased rating for diabetes mellitus type II.

The Veteran's service connection for residuals of a prostatectomy due to BPH is granted. The Board also finds that his erectile dysfunction (ED) may be related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus or the residuals of his prostatectomy, but more evidence is needed to determine this.

The Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction with hypogonadism was denied as there is no evidence of a penile deformity, which is required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7522.
