Granted
The Board granted service connection for skin cancer, finding that it was at least as likely as not caused by chronic sun exposure during the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate balance regarding the nexus between the Veteran's skin cancer and his service, and resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
