Erectile dysfunction Board decisions

The Board has determined that service connection is not warranted for sleep apnea, erectile dysfunction, or a skin condition of the hands and feet as they are not related to active duty service or a service-connected disability.

The Board found that the Veteran's anemia and erectile dysfunction did not have a direct relationship to his service or any service-connected disability, thus denying both claims.

The Veteran has withdrawn his appeal on the issues of service connection for enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction and incontinence, and loss of bowel control due to exposure to Agent Orange and contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's current bladder disorder, prostate disorder and erectile dysfunction are not related to his active service. The evidence does not support a finding of service connection for these conditions.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims due to the need for additional development and examination, including opinions regarding service connection for hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and special monthly compensation (SMC) for loss of use of a creative organ.

The Veteran's diabetes mellitus, type II, was managed with insulin and oral medications but did not require regulation of activities or result in weight loss or ketoacidosis. The disability rating remains at 20 percent.

The Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities is granted. The decision is based on the Veteran's service-connected conditions, including his heart disorder, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy, which collectively meet the criteria for TDIU.

The Veteran's erectile dysfunction was initially shown on November 20, 2010. The Board found that a noncompensable rating prior to this date and a 20% rating from November 20, 2010 is warranted.

The Board has granted effective dates of September 10, 2009 for the grants of service connection for erectile dysfunction and entitlement to special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.

The Veteran is seeking service connection for erectile dysfunction, which he contends developed secondary to his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder. The VA examiner's opinion was incomplete and a supplemental medical opinion must be obtained to determine if the erectile dysfunction has been aggravated by PTSD.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining updated VA medical records and scheduling a VA examination to assess the combined effect of his service-connected disabilities on his employability.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from securing or following substantially gainful employment consistent with his educational and work background.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded due to the need for a new VA examination to assess the current severity of his service-connected erectile dysfunction, including any penile deformity. The examiner must provide reasons for opinions and review submitted articles.

The Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder and erectile dysfunction are found to be service-connected. The claim for compensation benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for erectile dysfunction resulting from VA medical care is denied due to anti-pyramiding regulations.

The Board found that the Veteran's cause of death, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), was not service-connected due to lack of evidence showing it was incurred or aggravated by his military service. The Board also noted that he had other service-connected conditions such as diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy.

The Veteran's appeal includes multiple issues related to his service-connected conditions and seeks additional ratings, as well as service connection for various disabilities. The case is being remanded due to the need for a Travel Board hearing.

The Board has decided that the case needs additional development and remands it back to the RO for further action. The Veteran is seeking service connection for erectile dysfunction, which he contends is related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction was denied as he failed to report for a scheduled VA examination.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including adjudicating the Veteran's application to reopen a claim of service connection for diabetes mellitus and readjudicating the appeal.

The Board has granted service connection for schizoaffective disorder with depression and erectile dysfunction, finding that these conditions are at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's military service.
