Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an additional or higher level of special monthly compensation based on prostate cancer, a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction, and a compensable rating for the residuals of prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The record did not show any basis for a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction or increased SMC, and the VA examination was found to be inadequate for the prostate cancer claim.
