DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied the veteran's claims for higher ratings for service-connected kidney cancer and scars, finding that the conditions did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of residual symptomatology or complications from the kidney cancer and the size of the scar being less than the threshold for a compensable rating.
