Denied
The appeal was dismissed for claims related to special monthly compensation, service connection for erectile dysfunction and hypertension, and the reduction of a hip strain rating. The Board also denied increased ratings for hip strains.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of new relevant evidence supporting the claim for service connection for hypertension and the improper reduction in the hip strain rating.
