Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for initial compensable disability ratings for status post thyroidectomy due to malignant neoplasms of the thyroid and neck scar status post thyroidectomy.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of active disease or disabling residuals, and the Veteran's symptoms were not related to the service-connected condition.
