The Board granted a 40 percent disability rating for the service-connected residuals of prostate cancer with urinary frequency, effective February 1, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's voiding dysfunction resulted in a daytime voiding interval between two and three hours and nighttime awakening to void three to four times per night, warranting a 40 percent rating.
