Question
RockyA1911
My cousin was in the AF and in Vietnam 68-69. During that period he went TDY from Ton Son Nut AFB in Saigon to I Corps and found me and my unit (I was in the Marines) and spent 3 days with me before returning to Saigon. During that 3 day timeframe we were attacked, rocketed, and mortared almost the whole time and spent most of the three days sharing a fox hole with me. He literally crapped his pants and afterwards participated and helped with the bagging of bodies also.
He now has DMII and has had erectile dysfunction for the past two years. He has never filed a VA claim and didn't know. I am helping him file his claim for DMII and I found the DC for that under endocrine system. However, I cannot find the body etiology for the ED. Where is it in the 38CFR4? I did not find anything under reproductive organ.
I want him to also claim the ED as secondary to DMII and also PTSD. We sent off for his personnel service records and service medical records the other day. He has two different MD IMO diagnosis letters confirming his DMII, but is on oral medication, not insulin so I assume that is rated at 20%. I need the DC for the ED if anyone knows what it is. I am also helping him file claim for PTSD as he has all the symptoms. I haven't seen him or been in contact since 1972 after he had moved to Calif. His mother and my aunt had an emergency stent so he flew in to St Louis last week. It was great to see and talk with him again.
I assume the ED is connected to the DMII? Anyone know what the rating is for ED?
Thanks.
