Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection for erectile dysfunction and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on loss of use of a creative organ, as the evidence did not support entitlement to these benefits prior to January 9, 2020.
The deciding factor: No formal or informal claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction was received before January 9, 2020, and there was no new and material evidence submitted during that period to warrant an earlier effective date.
