Granted
The Board granted the veteran's appeal and restored the 100 percent rating for bladder cancer, finding that the reduction was improper because the cancer remained active and malignant.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA did not obtain an adequate examination prior to reducing the rating, and the evidence showed the cancer was still active.
