Question

If I wanted to claim SMC for ED as a result of service connected DMII how would I do it? I have it in my VA medical records now. Do I just write a letter and request along with the VA medical records?

Just write a letter stating your inability to get/maintain an erection, secondary to your DM-II. SMC for ED secondary to DM-II is usually almost a given. Secondary to meds is usually much more difficult. They'll probably schedule a C&P exam but that's nothing to worry about. jmho

Thanks Bill and Phil

I probably will file for the SMC very soon. I know that ED is a very common secondary condition of DMII. The VA is prescribing Cialis or Viagra or something like that for me, so they are treating the problem and it is in my records.

John:

You can easily get this .. your VAMC records are your ammo.

You need that diagnosis letter though.

I am finding letters from VAMC employees harder and harder to get too.

If you have a good relationship with your SO and he has a good relationship with the VAMC ... he can get it done ... if you go see him and have a "face to face" meeting at your VARO.

My VAMC & VARO are side by side and that really makes it easy for me.

If I remember .... my retro check was maybe $1,400.00 ... so that is how long that it took me to getting after several NOOOOs.

Good luck .. you can do this one ... file to start the clock.

... Magoo .. aka .. Bill ... :rolleyes:
