The Board has determined that the veteran is entitled to an effective date of April 15, 1980 for the grant of service connection for impotence. The RO must also consider whether there was CUE in the April 1981 rating decision regarding special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ and whether there was CUE in the November 1976 and/or April 1981 rating decisions that denied entitlement to a TDIU. The RO must also consider whether the veteran is entitled to an effective date prior to January 13, 1989 for service connection of PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was CUE in the April 1981 rating decision regarding impotence and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ. The RO must also consider whether there was CUE in the November 1976 and/or April 1981 rating decisions that denied entitlement to a TDIU.
