The Board denied service connection for a liver disorder, to include liver cancer as secondary to exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, and other than cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis C.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a current diagnosis of liver cancer or any other liver disease besides cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis C. The VA opinion stated it was less likely than not that the claimed disorder was due to service exposure to Agent Orange, TERA activities, or is otherwise related to service.
