In case anyone hasn't told you today, ED isn't just for the 'pushing rope' issues. If you're like me, some medications you're prescribed can have some odd side effects. For example: inability to climax, loss of sensation during sex, etc. This counts as a claim for ED. For years I thought the ED claim was just for inability to get it up.

I have recently submitted a claim for PTSD and it is currently in evaluations and review. This is my first claim so I am new to all of this. I received a call this morning to schedule a C&P exam.

In 2021 I reopened my claim because they added those conditions to the presumptive list and I served in Afghanistan. It was still denied.

Elbow range of motion question. A little confused with the exception. Do you get the range of motion rating and also the “EXCEPTION”?

However, if the Veteran can only straighten their arm to 45° AND only bend their arm to 100° then they will receive a 20% rating. This 20% rating is the same for the dominant or non-dominant arm.
