Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 13, 2023, for the grant of service connection for female sexual arousal disorder and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of creative organ (SMC(k)), but denied initial compensable ratings for hypertension and migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the date of claim and the date entitlement arose for the female sexual arousal disorder, as well as the lack of evidence supporting a compensable rating for hypertension and migraine headaches during the relevant period.
