Granted
The Board granted service connection for erectile dysfunction, special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, Graves' disease/hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected Graves' disease.
The deciding factor: The July 31, 2019, VA Form 21-526EZ may be construed as a supplemental claim in light of recent case law developments, which allowed for an earlier effective date based on new evidence and theory of entitlement.
