Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date of September 22, 2022, for service connection for erectile dysfunction and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The intent to file did not attach to the claim for erectile dysfunction as it was filed after the December 2022 supplemental claim for obstructive sleep apnea and an unspecified anxiety disorder, which properly attached to the September 2022 intent to file.
