Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 60 percent for residuals of prostate cancer status post prostatectomy but granted an effective date of October 4, 2016, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating and that he met the criteria for TDIU at the time VA received his initial claim in October 2016.
