The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 40 percent for voiding dysfunction and an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for voiding dysfunction, but granted an earlier effective date of April 10, 2018, for the award of service connection for erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether entitlement arose for the Veteran's erectile dysfunction prior to the April 10, 2018 claim for DMII.
