The Board has determined that the Veteran's enhanced physiologic tremor is related to exposure to contaminated water from Camp Lejeune during service, and thus grants service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that the current condition is more likely than not related to trichloroethylene (TCE) associated with Camp Lejeune exposure, based on reports from the Institute of Medicine and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
