Erectile Dysfunction (SMC-K) VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 7522 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.115b across 3 severity tiers (60% -- Absorbent materials changed >4x/day or appliance required / 40% -- Absorbent materials changed 2-4x/day / 20% -- Absorbent materials changed <2x/day). Service connection requires (1) a current diagnosis, (2) an in-service event, injury, or exposure, and (3) a medical nexus opinion linking the two under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303.
ED with SMC-K: erectile dysfunction is commonly service-connected secondary to diabetes, PTSD medications, or spinal conditions. Even at 0%, it triggers SMC-K for loss of use of a creative organ under 38 U.S.C. 1114(k), adding approximately $139.87/month to compensation.
Erectile Dysfunction (SMC-K) (DC 7522) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.115b using the genitourinary rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 3 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Erectile Dysfunction (SMC-K) depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
