I don't know if you have done this yet, but I would inform your doctors and see what they suggest. If you end up on medication assistive devices, than yes file for comp secondary to the meds and your health issues. I believe all you get is SMC amounting to less than $100 a month, but it's better than nothing.

Hope this helps,

You don't need to prove it as they take you word for it, after they do some bloodwork, to make sure it's not organic.

They don't always do bloodwork. However, they will ask you a fair number of intimate questions.

With regards to returning some functionality, visit your primary care doc or a urologist. Depending on your heart condition, you might be able to get some meds. The VA docs typically will give you some levitra, about 4 or 6 pills per month, along with a pill splitter. If you go to a private urologist, some of them will give you a 'party pack' which contains samples of levitra, cialis, viagra, etc... Each work differently for different people, but common side effects are headaches and that list of stuff they ramble off on the tv commercials. You might need to find the right one which works for you. If you can't get samples, ask the VA doc to write you a paper prescription to be filled in a civilian pharmacy. If you have decent private insurance, they tend to pay for some, but not a whole month's worth. Getting the SMC-K award for ED means $96.00 per month, which can come in handy if you want to pay cash at a civilian pharmacy.

I hope things turn out for the better for you.

If the pills don't work, there are other alternatives. The pump and the urinary track chemical, I have not tried them yet. The pills gave me terrible headaches. And yes, put in a claim for SMC-K, My service adviser calls it Special K:)

They may not always do bloodwork but I believe it's a required part of the C&P, for ED. It's possible to use recent bloodwork results to assist in their denial. The goal of the bloodwork is to blame it on anything but your meds or PTSD/depression.

Certain Meds and combinations of meds cause this problem, and I am pretty certian that they know.
