Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Board has denied the Veteran's claims of service connection for a right wrist disability, right shoulder arthritis, sleep disorder, and separated collar bone. The claim seeking increased ratings for various disabilities was also denied.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including a right leg disorder, left leg disorder, erectile dysfunction, bilateral knee disorder, diabetes mellitus, kidney disorder, headaches, eye disorder, heart disorder, prostate disorder, neurological disorder, and gastrointestinal disorders. The decision was based on secondary service connection.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings were denied. The Board found that the evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under any applicable diagnostic codes.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including coronary artery disease and prostate cancer, prevent him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment. The Board grants a TDIU based on the combined rating of his service-connected conditions.

The Veteran's maxillary sinusitis with allergic rhinitis has been granted a 10 percent evaluation, effective from the date of the decision. The issues regarding PTSD and erectile dysfunction remain pending.

The Board is remanding the case for further development to determine if the Veteran served in Vietnam during ACDUTRA and whether he was exposed to herbicides, specifically Agent Orange. The claims will be reconsidered based on this information.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including anxiety disorder and prostate cancer residuals, do not prevent him from obtaining or maintaining any form of gainful employment.

The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is denied. The earliest possible effective date assigned was March 6, 2014.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's claims for service connection have been denied. The decision does not specify which conditions or issues were denied, but it is clear from the context that all of the listed conditions and issues were addressed.

The Veteran's claim for an increased evaluation for his service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II, with erectile dysfunction, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts is being remanded due to the need for a new VA examination.

The Veteran's left lower extremity radiculopathy has been granted a 20 percent rating, effective from December 2009. Service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to service-connected low back disability is also granted.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining SSA records and reviewing the claims file with additional evidence.

The Veteran's service-connected chronic epididymitis has been rated at 10 percent, and he is also entitled to special monthly compensation for loss of use of a creative organ.

The Veteran's claims for increased evaluations and TDIU were denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support a higher evaluation for diabetes mellitus prior to June 23, 2009 or from then on, nor did it meet criteria for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for degenerative changes of the hips.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities are of such a nature or severity to prevent him from obtaining or retaining all forms of substantially gainful employment.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection were denied. The claim for an earlier effective date was also denied.

The Board found that the evidence did not support a finding of service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to PTSD with depression, panic disorder without agoraphobia, and alcohol abuse. The Veteran's current erectile dysfunction is attributed to his spine injury sustained during employment.

The Board found that the Veteran's hypertension and erectile dysfunction were not incurred or aggravated by service, including presumed exposure to herbicides in Vietnam. The evidence did not show a connection between these conditions and his diabetes mellitus.
