The veteran's right testicle atrophy and loss of use of a creative organ are granted effective September 23, 1966.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established for the right testicle atrophy as a consequence of a gunshot wound to the left leg in service, which severed blood flow to the right testicle resulting in its atrophy.

The Board has remanded the case due to issues related to left testicle varicocele, benign prostate hypertrophy and urinary disability. The TDIU claim is also remanded.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the Veteran's right testicle disability, specifically his diagnosed condition of right testicular atrophy, was not incurred in or caused by his period of military service.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected right testicle atrophy was not found to warrant a compensable rating from March 4, 1988, to January 29, 1990.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right testicle disability, finding that the Veteran's current atrophy of the right testicle is related to his in-service symptoms and not due to his service-connected left testicular atrophy with peyronie's disease. The other issues were not addressed as they are part of the remand process.
