Partly granted
The Board granted a 60 percent disability rating for prostate cancer residuals/neurogenic bladder from July 12, 2018, to January 29, 2024, and denied a higher rating. The issues of service connection for fecal incontinence, right upper extremity tendonitis, left upper extremity tendonitis, right lower extremity tendonitis, and left lower extremity tendonitis were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of voiding dysfunction requiring absorbent materials changed more than four times per day from July 12, 2018, to January 29, 2024, but no local reoccurrence or metastasis was found for a higher rating.
