Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial compensable rating for residuals of kidney cancer and surgical scars status post kidney cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran currently has malignant neoplasms or experienced residuals of kidney cancer, nor did it show that his surgical scars met the criteria for a compensable rating.
