Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for service connection for erectile dysfunction and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, as there was no evidence of an unadjudicated claim prior to September 1, 2010.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence indicating an intent to apply for benefits prior to September 1, 2010, and the requirement that service connection be granted before an earlier effective date can be assigned.
