Granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 1, 2020, but no earlier, for the assignment of a total disability rating for spindle cell sarcoma of the right lung with asthma.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion is sufficiently persuasive to place a reasonable fact finder in a state of equipoise, and the tie must go to the Veteran.
