Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date prior to August 28, 2021, for service connection for erectile dysfunction and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of an unadjudicated claim or intent to file a claim for benefits related to erectile dysfunction prior to August 28, 2021, which is the date VA received the veteran's Intent to File and subsequent Fully Developed Claim.
