Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied earlier effective dates for service connection and a compensable rating for skin cancer, but remanded claims for an initial compensable rating for kidney disease, service connection for fatigue, weakness, and organ dysfunction, and special monthly compensation (SMC) based housebound or the need for aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support earlier effective dates for service connection or a compensable rating for skin cancer, but further development was needed to evaluate the Veteran's kidney disease and other claims.
