The Board denied a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction and remanded issues related to earlier effective dates for the grants of service connection for prostate cancer, ED, and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a penile deformity associated with the Veteran's service-connected ED, thus a compensable rating was not warranted. The Board also found that an earlier effective date could be assigned if it is determined that the Veteran's prostate cancer can be granted on a direct basis back to May 19, 2022.
