Granted
The Board granted service connection for multiple sclerosis, resolving all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that there is a more than high probability that his vaccinations taken while in the military are exacerbating and causally related to his symptoms.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's currently diagnosed MS is etiologically related to the anthrax vaccinations he received during active service, with opinions from medical professionals supporting this connection.
