Partly granted
The Board granted a 60 percent rating for residuals of lung cancer and denied a compensable rating for right lobectomy scars, while granting a separate 10 percent rating for painful right lobectomy scars.
The deciding factor: The FEV-1/FVC test results most accurately reflected the Veteran's level of disability for his lung cancer residuals, meeting criteria for a 60 percent rating. The evidence did not support a compensable rating for the right lobectomy scar based on area or painfulness alone.
