Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bone cancer as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected lung cancer and denied increased ratings for PTSD, bilateral hearing loss, chronic otitis externa, and TDIU.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established based on a causal relationship between the Veteran's lung cancer and his bone cancer. The claims for increased ratings were denied due to the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations without good cause.
