Granted
The Board granted service connection for the cause of death, finding that toxic exposure during service contributed substantially or materially to the Veteran's cause of death.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's cause of death was a result of his toxic exposure during service, and the Board resolved any doubt in favor of the Appellant.
