The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction, finding a link to in-service asbestos exposure.
The deciding factor: The benefit of the doubt was given due to an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding the nexus between the Veteran's prostate cancer and in-service asbestos exposure. The Board also found that the Veteran's erectile dysfunction is caused by his service-connected prostate cancer and coronary artery disease.
