The Board has granted service connection for dysautonomia and lung nodules, finding that the Veteran's conditions are at least as likely as not related to his exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. The lung nodules issue is remanded for a VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran’s dysautonomia and lung nodules are due to his military service, including exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
