Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial compensable disability rating for gastric MALT lymphoma and an earlier effective date for service connection for cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran's gastric MALT lymphoma was inactive and in remission, and there was no pending claim prior to August 10, 2022.
