Erectile Dysfunction: Seeking Support After Service

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that can affect both physical and emotional health, and for some veterans, it may stem from their service experiences. ED can be linked to physical injuries, mental health challenges, or certain medications. If you’re experiencing ED, support is available through the DVA erectile dysfunction claims process. At KSC, we’re here to help you navigate the DVA ED claim process and ensure you receive the care and resources you need.

Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. It can have various underlying causes, including:

Physical factors: Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or nerve damage.
Psychological factors: Issues such as stress, anxiety, or depression.

Erectile Dysfunction DVA Points

The table provides DVA points for impotence (not ameliorated by surgical treatment).

In isolation, the average payment for ED can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. It’s important to remember that DVA calculates compensation by assessing the degree of impairment caused by a veteran’s accepted conditions, combining it with a lifestyle impact rating, and then using a chart in the Guide to Determining Impairment and Compensation (GARP) to determine the appropriate compensation factor, which is then multiplied by the maximum weekly MRCA payment to calculate the final compensation amount. Essentially, the higher the impairment and lifestyle impact, the greater the compensation received.
