Granted
The Board granted an effective date of November 13, 2012, for the award of service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma based on direct service connection due to exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately balanced regarding whether the Veteran's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is directly related to his exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, and the Board resolved the benefit of the doubt in favor of the appellant.
