Partly granted
The veteran's appeal for a higher disability rating for residuals of prostate cancer was partially granted. The veteran is entitled to a 60% disability rating from December 8, 2021, but not for the earlier periods.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's need to change absorbent pads more than four times per day since December 8, 2021.
