Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to February 9, 2023, for the award of service connection for female sexual arousal disorder and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The Federal Circuit's decision in Military-Veterans Advocacy invalidated 38 C.F.R. § 3.155 in part, holding that if a supplemental claim is received within one year of an intent to file, the date the intent to file was received is the date of claim for effective date purposes.
