Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for erectile dysfunction, finding that August 18, 2022, is the earliest possible effective date.
The deciding factor: The effective date cannot be earlier than the date entitlement arose, which in this case is August 18, 2022, due to the secondary nature of the condition and the need for a service-connected primary disability.
