Partly granted
The veteran's claim for additional compensation due to erectile dysfunction was denied. The claim for an increased rating for a right hand middle finger injury was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran is already receiving the maximum SMC (k) benefit for loss of use of a creative organ and that the evidence did not support an additional compensation for erectile dysfunction.
