Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of August 3, 2023, for the evaluation and grant of service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, erectile dysfunction, and prostate cancer s/p prostatectomy.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports assigning an earlier effective date because it shows that the Veteran submitted an intent to file his claim on August 3, 2023, which was received within one year by the VA.
