VA Disability Rating for Erectile dysfunction, with or without penile deformity (DC 7522)

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual activity, with or without a change in the shape of the penis. The rating schedule assigns ED a 0% rating under this code: the condition is recognized as service-connected, but the percentage by itself does not pay compensation. The schedule flags this code for review for special monthly compensation under 38 CFR § 3.350 (SMC-K, for loss or loss of use of a creative organ), which is paid in addition to any other compensation.
