Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 60-percent evaluation for chronic laryngitis with a malignant neoplasm of the larynx and dismissed the claim for an earlier effective date for TDIU due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition was found to warrant a higher rating based on complete organic aphonia, but the appeal for an earlier effective date for TDIU was dismissed due to procedural error.
