Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for skin cancer, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between the Veteran's current condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion in January 2024 found no medical studies supporting a causal link between skin cancer and exposure to toxic substances or environmental hazards during the Veteran's service.
