Denied
The Board denied service connection for skin cancer and increased evaluations for PTSD, while remanding the claim for a left eye disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a diagnosis of skin cancer during the appeal period or that his PTSD warranted an evaluation in excess of 50 percent prior to February 20, 2020, and 70 percent thereafter. The claim for a left eye disorder was remanded for further development.
