Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for status post malignant neoplasm of the thyroid with hypothyroidism, finding no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis and no residuals that would warrant a compensable evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any myxedema, residuals, symptoms, or complications related to the Veteran's condition during the appeal period, and there was no indication of ongoing issues related to hypothyroidism that would support a compensable rating.
