Partly granted
The Veteran's cancer residuals were granted a 30 percent rating effective September 1, 2022. The claims for increased ratings and earlier effective dates for anterior abdominal wall scars were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for a higher evaluation of 30 percent for his cancer residuals as of September 1, 2022, due to incontinence issues.
