The Board granted a greater 60 percent rating for the Veteran's residuals of prostate cancer status post radical prostatectomy and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence regarding the severity of the Veteran's voiding dysfunction is in equipoise, warranting a 60 percent rating. The Veteran also meets the schedular criteria for TDIU.
