Prostate cancer decisions — 2011

The Board has remanded the case for further development and examination, including a VA Compensation and Pension Examination to determine if there is a prostate disability related to service. The Veteran's request for a hearing at the RO or Central Office will be considered.

The Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for service-connected erectile dysfunction was denied. The Board found that the evidence did not show loss of erectile power and deformity, which are required for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7522.

The Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of prostate cancer, and the Board finds that service connection for this condition cannot be granted as there is no evidence of its existence during his period of active duty.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, a bilateral foot disability, a left knee disability, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and acute myocardial ischemia. The decision found that new evidence did not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating these claims.

The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete records and a need for further development.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims due to a need for additional development and evidence, including verification of service in Vietnam.
