Granted
The Board granted service connection for organic residuals of frostbite based on a finding that the Veteran's current disability is causally related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence at least in approximate balance with respect to a nexus between the Veteran's current condition and his in-service exposure, granting direct service connection despite the absence of contemporaneous medical records documenting the in-service injury.
