Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Veteran's TDIU claim was denied due to the evidence showing that he is able to secure and follow substantially gainful work. The RO granted service connection for additional disabilities during the pendency of this appeal, including prostate cancer residuals, erectile dysfunction, PTSD, mood disorder, diabetes, bilateral peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities, tinnitus, and left ear hearing loss. The Veteran has not received a VA examination to determine the functional impact that these additional service-connected disabilities have on his employment.

The Veteran's appeal has been dismissed as he withdrew his appeal prior to the Board making a decision.

The Board found no evidence linking the Veteran's inguinal hernia to his military service and denied secondary service connection for erectile dysfunction as it was not shown to be caused by or aggravated by a service-connected condition. The Veteran's claims were based on direct service connection, but there is insufficient medical evidence to support this claim.

The Board has granted the Veteran's claims of service connection for erectile dysfunction, depression, and a skin disorder. The appeals for left ankle, bilateral knee, and right leg radiculopathy disorders are denied as there is no current evidence of these conditions.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is secondary to his service-connected diabetes and grants service connection for this condition.

The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for a right knee disability, as secondary to service-connected bilateral calcaneal spurs. The case is now before the RO for further development.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD and other conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and back pain, prevent him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment. The Board grants TDIU prior to December 8, 2016.

The Board has granted service connection for diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease, both presumed to be due to herbicide exposure. The claims for peripheral neuropathy of the lower extremities and erectile dysfunction as secondary to diabetes are also granted.

The Board has remanded the case for further development and examination to determine if the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to his service, including exposure to contaminants at Anderson Air Force Base (AAFB).

The Veteran's service-connected CAD alone precludes him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation, and the Board has granted a TDIU effective March 13, 2010 to November 3, 2014.

The Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea, headaches, and erectile dysfunction were found to be related to his military service. The Board granted the Veteran's claims for these conditions.

The Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 20 percent for type II diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction was denied. The claim for TDIU before August 1, 2008, was also denied.

The case is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining Social Security Administration records and scheduling the Veteran for VA examinations to address his claimed conditions.

The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for coronary artery disease and TDIU prior to January 3, 2012 was denied. The Board found that the evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under the schedular criteria or for TDIU based on service-connected disabilities alone.

The Veteran's PTSD is rated at 100% for the entire appeal period, and he is granted service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to his PTSD. The rating for scrotal cysts remains unchanged.

The Veteran's appeal is being returned to the Board for further evaluation on the merits due to a need for additional development, including obtaining Social Security Administration records and scheduling an examination.

The Veteran's appeal for an increased rating for his acquired psychiatric disability was denied.,Service connection for left ear hearing loss and right ear hearing loss were both denied. The Veteran did not have a preexisting tinnitus, but the Board found that service connection could be established based on continuity of symptoms.

The Veteran withdrew his appeal before the Board could make a decision.
