The veteran's lymphocytic lymphoma is in complete remission and has not resulted in any compensable disability. The Board finds that the current evidence does not support a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The veteran's lymphocytic lymphoma is currently in remission, with no active disease or treatment process ongoing. Therefore, the noncompensable rating remains unchanged as there are no residuals of the condition to rate on.
