Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for locally recurrent prostate cancer and special monthly compensation (SMC) at the housebound rate from November 1, 2025.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's prostate cancer was found to be active, warranting a continuation of the 100 percent rating. Additionally, he met the criteria for SMC as he had a single service-connected disability rated 100 percent and additional disabilities rated at least 60 percent combined.
