Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of December 21, 2021, for the awards of service connection for prostate cancer with urinary frequency, erectile dysfunction, and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of creative organ.
The deciding factor: A direct nexus to service was factually ascertainable based on the Veteran's exposure to toxic chemicals during his duties as an Aerospace propulsion jet engines journeyman, supported by a private physician's letter in January 2022.
