Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an additional award of special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the loss of use of a creative organ, as the Veteran is already receiving SMC(k) for the same condition.
The deciding factor: The statute and regulation are clear that only one award of SMC(k) may be assigned for the loss of use of a creative organ or organs, and an additional award would result in duplicate compensation for the same symptoms.
