How the VA Rates Erectile Dysfunction (SMC-K)

The 0% is misleading — service-connected ED entitles you to SMC-K for loss of use of a creative organ, paid in addition to your regular compensation at any rating level. Common winning theories: secondary to diabetes, medication side effects (antidepressants, blood pressure medication), or prostate conditions.

Evidence That Wins This Claim

  • SMC-K is not automatic — it should be inferred, but claim it explicitly.
  • Medication side-effect theories need the prescribing record plus a nexus statement.
