0% Svc Connected For Ed, But No Mention Of Smc In Decision Letter-Normal?

[brokensoldier244th]

Is this normal? I was granted ED on appeal, with a 0% rating, but there is no mention of SMC in my rating decision. I posted it in general claims, not realizing there was an SMC subfora, so here is the link:

Someone in another forum said that SMC is no longer granted automatically for ED unless its for a prostectomy. My ED is due to impingement (as least as likely, according to the wording) of the parasympathetic lumbar spinal nerves.

So,...do I submit a claim again?

I told you what I thought you should do. My last comment on this.

I understand that. I was hoping for more than 1 person's opinion. I have submitted a 21-4138 and we'll see where that goes.

I filed an appeal a month ago, with a pretty vitriolic letter. My DAV guy appealed by saying "This veteran appeals...." and that's it. I cited chapter and verse (and regs) that I was ED, service connected, and on medication for it, so therefore I shouldn't have to appeal something officially that, according to the reg, should have been inferred and granted as soon as I won my ED appeal.
