Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for service connection for NHL, a compensable rating for NHL post right hemicolectomy with fistula excision, and restoration of a 100 percent disability rating for kidney neoplasm residuals.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher rating due to the lack of symptoms and remission status of the veteran's conditions.
