Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for service connection for erectile dysfunction and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, as there was no basis to assign an effective date earlier than July 25, 2024.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 Intent to File did not attach to the July 2024 claim for erectile dysfunction because it had already attached to the May 15, 2024, supplemental claim as to other conditions.
