Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for metastatic breast cancer of the right side but granted service connection for hemorrhoids and pseudofolliculitis barbae.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the Veteran's breast cancer and his military service, while his statements about hemorrhoids and pseudofolliculitis barbae were found credible and supported by medical records.
