how to go about to make a claim and prove that your infertility is service connection

  i guess the hard part is proving a service connection.

my question is what is the best way to go about to make the claim  since i have seen online some cases

that have some veterans with low sperm  count and win there cases

Well first thing is file the claim (21-526ez) how ever you may want to ask your VSO since the VA is Changing things up  since Feb 19th 2019. THEY MAYBE A NEW FILING FORM?

I am not sure if they have a new filing form or not? OR If so you need the correct filing form other wise VA will kick it back.

You need 3 things for sure

1. Current Diagnose (no Dx no service connection)

2. In-service event or Aggravation.

3. Nuxus,  Cause or Effect of the condition or a Qualified Dr statement that the Veteran current diagnose is least likely due to the event he/she  suffered while in the military.

This my frist time doing this am going to go to the Va. Hospital in town to file a claim i was told

but  i do not have any service connection cause.

so what is it that i need to do frist

[Buck52]

check with the DAV /VSO Office at the VA Hospital(if there there) ? or check with your county Veteran service officer in your state.

If you have no proof of in service connection..your claim will be denied. 

you need medical documentation from in service or maybe a medical procedure the VA  OR THE MILITARY performed on you to make your infertility Sterile  or something close to this.

With fertility, you need the same basic things as with all claims:

The Caluza elements of:

1.  Current diagnosis (infertilitiy)

2.  In service event or aggravation. 

3.  Nexus or doc opinion that your infertilitiy was at least as likely as not caused by your in service event.  

     However, "loss of use of a reproductive organ" would USUALLY be tied with some other service connected injury.  SMC K (loss of use of a reproductive organ) is about 104.00 per month, unless you have something else with it that is Sc.
