Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 100 percent disability rating for Ileum cancer and dismissed several other claims, including those related to PTSD, asthma, TDIU, and DEA.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's current need for continuous medication due to his service-connected Ileum cancer, which required a 100 percent rating under DC 7343. Other claims were dismissed as they were withdrawn by the Veteran or did not meet the criteria for an earlier effective date.
