The Board granted the restoration of a 10 percent rating for sclerotic radial head, right elbow effective June 1, 2022, and denied an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction and scars.
The deciding factor: The reduction in the rating for sclerotic radial head, right elbow was improper due to lack of material improvement as required by regulation. The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a penile deformity or other anatomical abnormality necessary for an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction.
