Granted
The Board granted service connection for bladder cancer, a disease presumptively associated with radiation exposure, resolving all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding the Veteran's exposure to radiation and his bladder cancer, leading to a grant of service connection under the presumption for radiation-exposed veterans.
