Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 60 percent for prostate cancer residuals, characterized by urinary incontinence and denied an initial compensable rating for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's urinary incontinence was found to be severe enough to warrant the maximum schedular rating, while his hypertension did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
