Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for residuals of testicular torsion and denied a compensable rating for infertility, while granting special monthly compensation (SMC) under section 1114(k) for loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for a higher rating for residuals of testicular torsion due to complete atrophy of both testicles, but did not support a compensable rating for infertility. SMC was granted based on the loss of use of a creative organ.
