Yes, probably. They only go back to the date of the claim. Now if he had a claim back then, when he got out of the military, there might be a CUE but they don't pay for stuff you didn't know about, then. I don't think he'll get anything other than the SMC "k" award and that, at most, will go back to 2007. I don't think testicular atrophy pays anything other than the "k" award. BTW, the "k" award for ED is sort of a gift, from the VA. The "k" award is actually for the inability to have children, not for ED. jmo
