The Board found that the reduction in the rating for the Veteran's Ewing's sarcoma from 100 percent to 0 percent, effective January 1, 2012 was proper based on evidence showing remission of the condition and no impact on work capacity.
The deciding factor: The reduction was supported by VA examination findings indicating that the Veteran's Ewing's sarcoma was in complete remission and did not impact his ability to work.
