Denied
The VA denied the veteran's appeal to restore his rating for prostate cancer from 60% to 100%. The VA found that the reduction was proper and that the criteria for a higher rating were not met.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's prostate cancer had been in remission for at least six months, and residuals consisted of voiding dysfunction.
