The Board denied service connection for diabetes and a skin disorder, but granted a 40 percent rating for prostate cancer from July 7, 2014, to August 21, 2014.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of diabetes or a chronic skin condition related to service. However, there was an increase in urinary pad changes that warranted a higher rating for prostate cancer during the specified period.
