hypertension Erectyle Dysfunction Rating 0% -Get Higher %?

[rootbeer22]

Folks:

 

I was earlier rated 0% for Hypertension and 0% for ED during the first part of my claim. Then last week after my Cardiac CP results (deferred claim) finally came in, I was finally rated 10% SC (low balled)  for Hypertensive Heart Disease which is a catch all for a lot of heart stuff? Anyway, can anyone tell me what it takes to get 10% of higher for Erectile Dysfunction?  I did get  SMC -K for loss of a creative organ so is that how VBA generally takes care of ED ratings? The other issue is that I was injured and in a Tank Accident which was service connected for my back which resulted in a spinal fusion/decompression surgery. However, I learned that  there's a scientific study that shows a high correlation to decompression surgery and ED. Also, I also take multiple HBP medicines to try and keep my HBP down...

Bud I got 0% for ED, even though I get 40% for Testicular issues due to 1st Surgery, and now I am having another surgery on Oct 6th, and still be 0% ED and I am only 33, so what does that tell you. It looks like you are trying for that last 20% to get to 100%. You need to look into your other SC conditions, and see if they meet the next higher % due to an increase in symptoms or pain. Good luck and keep us posted
