The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction, as a noncompensable rating is the highest schedular rating available under the applicable diagnostic code.
The deciding factor: A compensable rating was not warranted because the criteria for a compensable disability rating for erectile dysfunction have not been met, and a noncompensable rating is the maximum rating under Diagnostic Code 7522.
