Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 20 percent, but no higher, for erectile dysfunction and remanded the claim for a rating in excess of 20 percent for slight lumbar scoliosis with IVDS.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's penile implant was found to be analogous to an internal deformity of the penis, warranting a 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7522. A remand is required to address the beneficial effects of medication for the lumbar scoliosis with IVDS.
