Ed

[navydoc2]

I am considering filing a claim for ED due to blood pressure meds and psych meds. I was wondering what the percentage is or is it like hearing rated at zero percent unless you are totally deaf. thanks in advance for your help.

As long as you blood pressure and/or psych meds are SC, you might have a shot. Here's what I was able to find.

Here is a link to a BVA case related to "loss of use of a creative organ":

http://www4.va.gov/vetapp07/files2/0717935.txt

"Impotence is tantamount to loss of use of a creative organ.

See 38 C.F.R. § 4.115b, Diagnostic Code 7522 (2008)."

§4.115b Ratings of the genitourinary system—diagnoses.

Note: When evaluating any claim involving loss or loss of use of one or more creative organs, refer to §3.350 of this chapter to determine whether the veteran may be entitled to special monthly compensation. Footnotes in the schedule indicate conditions which potentially establish entitlement to special monthly compensation; however, there are other conditions in this section which under certain circumstances also establish entitlement to special monthly compensation.

You get $96 a month. You need to show some proof like being on Viagra or one of the other drugs. Be careful when they test you for it.

So its not rated at say zero percent or 10 percent? Seriously they test you for it? The VA does not have Viagra on in their formulary so they RX'd Levitra which is four pills a month.

Yup, they do test. It's very much like testing nerves. In this case, they attach electrodes (like used in an EKG) to each testicle and use very low voltage to stimulate the penis. If no erection, you get the SMC "k" award. It's a little uncomfortable but you'll survive.

They bring in 3 young chicks and they do lap dances for you.

Only kidding No test. They used my private medical records and saw that my Dr. wrote a script for Viagra and that was good enough for them.

I didn't see any percentages and they tied it in with my Periphereal Neuropathy associated with DMII with ED.
