Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted a 30% disability rating for breast cancer and denied higher ratings for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and a left chest scar, while remanding claims for earlier effective dates.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's breast cancer was directly linked to her service in Southwest Asia, but the evidence did not support a higher rating or an earlier effective date for other conditions.
