The Board found that the discontinuance of the 100 percent evaluation for gastric carcinoid, status post partial gastrectomy effective June 1, 2023, was proper and denied a rating in excess of 60 percent from June 1, 2023, for gastric carcinoid status post partial gastrectomy residuals.
The deciding factor: The discontinuance of the 100 percent evaluation was proper as there has been no local recurrence or metastasis following cessation of any therapeutic procedure. The Veteran's disability is appropriately rated under DC 7308 with a maximum schedular rating of 60 percent, and there are no additional symptoms that would warrant a higher rating.
