Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of May 16, 2022, for service connection for female sexual arousal disorder and special monthly compensation for the loss of use of a creative organ but denied a higher initial rating for dysmenorrhea associated with ovarian dysfunction with menometrorrhagia.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's dysmenorrhea did not require continuous treatment during the evidentiary period, while service connection for FSAD and SMC was continuously pursued since separation from service.
