The Board has determined that the Veteran's genitourinary disorder, including erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease, is not service connected as it is not related to his military service. The Board also found that the right shoulder disability issue was not addressed in this decision.
The deciding factor: The May 2012 VA examination concluded that the Veteran's genitourinary disorder, including erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease, is not caused by or aggravated by his service-connected lumbar spine disability. The examiner also found that the Veteran's Peyronie's disease with ED has not been aggravated by his service-connected lumbar spine disability.
