Granted
The Board granted service connection for psoriatic arthritis and drug-induced hepatitis liver disease, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence places the question of nexus between the Veteran's psoriatic arthritis and in-service trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure at least in relative equipoise, and her liver disease was caused by medication prescribed for treatment of psoriatic arthritis.
