Granted
The Board granted an effective date of April 8, 2022, for the award of service connection for cervical cancer and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for peripheral neuropathy was continuously pursued until service connection for cervical cancer was granted, which allowed the effective date to be traced back to April 8, 2022.
