Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent evaluation for PTSD, metastatic ovarian cancer, recto-sigmoid colon cancer, and status-post bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy from specific dates, while denying an increased rating for the latter two conditions after their respective effective dates.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment for PTSD, and there was evidence of active malignancy for both ovarian and recto-sigmoid colon cancers on March 28, 2023.
