Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for fibrodysplasia and denied service connection for bone cancer. The claim for a thyroid disability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in relative equipoise on the question of whether the current fibrodysplasia was incurred in or caused by service, to include due to radiation exposure during service. However, there is no evidence of a current diagnosis of bone cancer.
