Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection for erectile dysfunction and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's entitlement to service connection arose before his claim, but he did not file a claim until December 2023, so the earliest possible effective date was assigned.
