Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for Hodgkin's lymphoma and remanded the claims for separate ratings for residuals of Hodgkin's lymphoma and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's Hodgkin's lymphoma is in remission, and there has been no local recurrence or metastasis. Therefore, a compensable rating is not warranted under DC 7709.
