Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer, and remanded claims for a psychiatric disability, memory loss disorder, tinnitus, and peripheral vestibular disorder with vertigo.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim for service connection for prostate cancer as it was found to be unrelated to service despite in-service asbestos exposure. The VA medical opinion noted multiple risk factors for prostate cancer that were not related to service.
