Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on loss of use of a creative organ, as the Veteran's claim was received on December 5, 2023.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of record that establishes an intent to file or a formal claim for service connection for erectile dysfunction prior to December 5, 2023, which would warrant an earlier effective date.
