The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher rating for prostate cancer residuals, stating that the criteria for a rating in excess of 40 percent prior to November 14, 2023, and in excess of 60 percent thereafter were not met.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's prostate cancer residuals did not require the use of an appliance or renal dysfunction, and voiding dysfunction was the predominant symptom.
