Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for prostate cancer was denied, but the veteran was granted special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance. The claim for service connection for sleep apnea was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record at the time of the May 2024 agency of original jurisdiction (AOJ) decision on appeal.
