Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for colon adenocarcinoma status post colectomy prior to May 19, 2024, but denied ratings in excess of the assigned levels for both colon adenocarcinoma and PTSD at various times.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings due to their severity or frequency.
