The Veteran's claims for service connection for hepatitis C and related liver conditions, including cirrhosis and liver cancer, have been granted.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in at least relative equipoise regarding the nexus element of the Veteran's service connection claim for hepatitis C, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
