Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for prostate cancer and a compensable rating for myelodysplastic syndrome, but granted a separate rating for fatigue as a residual symptom of the service-connected myelodysplastic syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence was within approximate balance that the Veteran's fatigue symptoms are a residual of his service-connected myelodysplastic syndrome.
