Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for TDIU and DEA benefits, service connection for ED as secondary to a depressive disorder, and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation from May 7, 2012, to June 14, 2012, and his ED was found to be caused by his depressive disorder medication.
