Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for marginal zone lymphoma, finding that the evidence did not support a nexus between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The medical examiner opined that the Veteran's current condition was less likely than not incurred in or caused by an in-service event, injury, or illness, and there is no definitive evidence supporting a causal relationship between Chlordane exposure and lymphoma.
