Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for hyperhidrosis and dismissed the appeal for a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date for hyperhidrosis, as the claim was previously denied in 1999 and no new communication prior to January 31, 2022, could be interpreted as an informal petition to reopen. The Veteran withdrew his appeal for a compensable evaluation for erectile dysfunction.
