Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a 100 percent disability rating for prostate cancer with residuals of radiation cystitis status post bladder removal with urostomy, finding that the evidence did not support an earlier entitlement date.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that there was no evidence to support an earlier effective date as the Veteran's condition did not warrant a 100 percent rating prior to May 23, 2022, when he underwent cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion.
