Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) for loss of use of a creative organ due to the service-connected right epididymis and right hydrocele disability from March 15, 2010.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that the diameters of the affected testicle are reduced to one-third of the corresponding diameters of the paired normal testicle, or that a biopsy established the absence of spermatozoa to warrant SMC for the loss of use of a creative organ.
