Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for adjustment disorder with depressed mood and a headache disability, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected prostate cancer residuals. The Board also granted an increased rating of 60 percent for prostate cancer residuals with voiding dysfunction effective September 29, 2023.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's psychiatric disorder and headaches were related to his service-connected prostate cancer residuals, and the severity of his voiding dysfunction warranted a 60 percent rating.
