Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from securing or following substantially gainful employment, and therefore, he is not entitled to a TDIU.

The TDIU claim from June 25, 2014 to November 16, 2015 is denied as the Veteran was gainfully employed prior to his last full-time employment on November 16, 2015. SMC at the housebound rate under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s) from November 17, 2015 is also denied.
