Granted
The Board granted service connection for meningioma and the cause of the Veteran's death, finding a nexus to herbicide exposure during military service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion from Dr. P.C., which cited relevant scientific literature, established the requisite nexus between the Veteran's meningioma and his in-service dioxin exposure.
