ED and anxiety medications

[vetquest]

I am now 100% P&T with SMC S.  I was thinking about filing a claim for ED due to the medications I take.  I have had this problem noted first in 1995 in my VA records and now am fully ED.  I filed in 1998 and was denied right off the top.  Anyone else filed for this?  What was the outcome?

Just ask your VA Urologist to read your medical records about your E.D. ask him if he will give his opinion on the Meds you take that would cause the E.D. name the meds  ect,,ect,,

If you have tried the BLUE PILL from the VA  you can use that as evidence  from your My healthvet notes.

and if the Dr will say the Meds you take for PTSD or other? is likey as not  related to and cause your E.D. the that's all you need to get S.C. For E.D.

No Pun Intended  but E.D. is not that hard to get a claim approved if you been diagnosed.

The only way to get it Direct Service Connection is you were injured/other disease like diabetes II, prostate problems ,  or shot in that spot during your military service.

but also secondary claims with MH Disorders  PTSD Meds  ect,,,ect,, will work to get ED  Service Connected.
