Granted
The Board granted service connection for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and actinic keratosis based on the Veteran's in-service exposure to solar radiation.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran by finding that his skin conditions are related to in-service solar exposure, which is part of a multi-causal link causing these skin conditions.
