The Board denied service connection for female sexual arousal disorder and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, but granted an effective date of February 21, 2020, for the assignment of a 70 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder with major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of female sexual arousal disorder and there was no service-connected disability that would qualify for special monthly compensation. However, the Veteran's PTSD caused significant social and occupational impairment, warranting a 70 percent rating effective February 21, 2020.
