Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal regarding a proposed reduction in the disability rating for bladder cancer and denied entitlement to a compensable disability rating for erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The claim disputing the proposed reduction was not eligible for appeal as it was only a proposal, and no final decision had been made. For ED, there was no evidence of penile deformity, which is required for a compensable rating under the applicable diagnostic code.
