The Board granted a 40 percent disability rating for residuals of prostate cancer status post radical prostatectomy, as the Veteran's symptoms most closely approximate those required for that rating.

The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran suffers from urine leakage requiring absorbent materials to be changed 2 to 3 times per day, which aligns with a 40 percent disability rating under DC 7528.
