Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and a higher disability rating for colon cancer. The effective date remains March 16, 2021, and the rating is 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of a claim for service connection prior to March 16, 2021, and the symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
