Partly granted
The Board denied a higher rating for the residuals of bladder cancer but granted an earlier effective date for service connection.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence did not support a higher rating, but the grant was allowed due to the Veteran's exposure to herbicides under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
