Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the need for issuance of a Statement of the Case (SOC) addressing his claims for service connection for erectile dysfunction and entitlement to a rating in excess of 30 percent for anxiety disorder.

The Board has dismissed the Veteran's appeals as he withdrew them prior to a decision being made. The Board also determined that service connection for erectile dysfunction is not warranted, as it is not caused or aggravated by his service-connected atrophic left testicle.

The Veteran's appeal has been withdrawn, and the case is dismissed.

The Veteran's PTSD is rated at 70% disabling, effective from February 12, 2015. He also has a noncompensably disabling rating for his erectile dysfunction.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is not related to his military service, including exposure to herbicides. The condition did not manifest within one year of discharge and was not caused or aggravated by any service-connected disability.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims of service connection for left knee disability, back disability, right hip disability, diabetes mellitus, and erectile dysfunction. The evidence did not establish a direct link between these conditions and military service.

The Board found that the July 2009 rating decision did not contain clear and unmistakable error, as the correct facts were known at the time and the RO applied the relevant laws correctly.

The Veteran's claims for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction are being remanded due to insufficient development regarding exposure to herbicides during service. The AOJ is instructed to conduct further development as outlined in the decision.

The Board has remanded the case for an opinion regarding whether the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is aggravated by his service-connected diabetes mellitus or IHD, and if so, whether this aggravation is permanent.

The Veteran meets the schedular requirement for TDIU due to his service-connected disabilities, which render him unemployable. The Board grants a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.

The Board has granted service connection for male erectile disorder and assigned a 20% rating, effective April 2, 2001. The claim for service connection for penile lesion remains denied.

The Board has remanded the claims of service connection for hypertension and erectile dysfunction due to inconsistencies in the Veteran's statements regarding his history of these conditions, and because further medical opinions are needed.

The Veteran's DM II with related complications, including erectile dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease of the lower extremities, onychomycosis and bilateral cataracts, is currently rated at 20 percent. The ratings for left and right lower extremity neuropathy are also denied.

The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is as likely as not caused by his service-connected PTSD. The claims for higher ratings for thoracolumbar spine degenerative joint disease with spondylolisthesis, right knee arthritis, and left knee arthritis are granted.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining an addendum opinion from a VA examiner regarding the etiology of his erectile dysfunction.

The Veteran's claims for service connection of hypertension, renal insufficiency, and erectile dysfunction are being remanded due to the receipt of additional VA treatment records and private treatment records. The AOJ will review these records and readjudicate the claims.

The Veteran's erectile dysfunction has not been productive of penis deformity with loss of erectile power, and thus does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.

The appeal is being remanded to obtain VA treatment records and to schedule the Veteran for a VA examination to assess his psychiatric disorder, right shoulder tendonitis, diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction, and right knee disability.

The Veteran's appeal has been withdrawn prior to the Board issuing a decision.
