Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for renal cell carcinoma was dismissed, while the Veteran's residuals of a stomach tumor were granted a 20 percent initial disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms from his stomach tumor resulted in mild, infrequent episodes of gastric distress with continuous mild manifestations, warranting a 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7308.
