Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of December 28, 2020, for a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD and service connection for erectile dysfunction, SMC for loss of a creative organ, and pseudofolliculitis barbae with an effective date of December 14, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms worsened to a factually ascertainable degree within one year of the intent-to-file date for the PTSD claim, while the sleep apnea was not shown to be related to service or a service-connected condition.
