Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of a 100 percent rating for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, finding that there was no active disease or treatment phase to warrant such a rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show active disease, treatment, or indolent and non-contiguous phase of low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma prior to August 17, 2022.
