Does this count as a disability (for retirement compensation purposes)?
Several years ago I had prostate cancer. So my selected option was to have surgery and have my prostate removed. Because of this I have some sexual dysfunction. For retirement compensation purposes, does sexual dysfunction, if confirmed by my doctor, allow for an increased retirement/disability compensation?

If in the US you would NOT be entitled to social security disability benefits. You must be unable to work and earn at least $1090 a month due to a severely disabling condition. Not being able to function sexually doesn't prevent you from working.
If you are old enough to file for retirement benefits you don't need permission from any doctor to do so - you just do it. Whoever pays out a retirement benefit could care less WHY you have decided to retire.

Thats not a disability by law if there is some sort of work you can do. It is not a disability to be a eunich. And you can always become a monk. So there are jobs you can do without using your sex organs.
