Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's back condition and an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating or an earlier effective date due to the limitations of motion and the service-connected erectile dysfunction, respectively.
