Granted
The Board granted service connection for a skin disability, to include basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, stucco keratosis, and seborrheic keratosis, as well as a right thoracic back circular scar, to include as secondary to treatment for basal cell carcinoma.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least approximately balanced to show that the Veteran's skin disabilities are causally related to sunburns which occurred during active duty and his right thoracic back circular scar was incurred during treatment for his basal cell carcinoma.
