don't know if true, but I have always been told that any loss of reproductive function was an automatic 10%.

SPC Derreck Mott - you would have to show that it was service connected. buddy of mine lost his left nut in a repelling accident and got 10%

LTC (Join to see) and SPC Derreck Mott, the absolute answer is YES. Obviously there needs to be supporting evidence, but it is quite doable. The most unusual case I had while working as a Veterans Service Representative involved a former WAC that came to my office on something entirely different. While reviewing her service medical records I saw where she had been born with a testicle, which certainly didn't belong there. The Army discovered and removed it via corrective surgery. She was good to go and had no complaints, but my job as a VSR was to file for EVERY legitimate claim. The VA did indeed rate her 10% disabled for loss of use of a creative organ. The regulation was clear, and logic be damned, they VA had to follow the law. Good luck with this.

There must be a service connected condition that caused the fertility issue such as and not limited to; PTSD or depression. So the answer is yes it is possible.
