Granted
The Board granted service connection for metastatic prostate cancer, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate equipoise regarding whether it was caused by the Veteran's conceded in-service toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The favorable facets of the June 2020, January 2024, and September 2024 VA opinions meet the approximate equipoise standard provided by 38 C.F.R. § 3.102 and the Court's holding in Lynch.
