Denied
The Board denied service connection for a brain tumor, claimed as brain cancer, finding that the evidence did not support an in-service onset or a nexus to active service.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA medical opinion was given high probative value due to its well-reasoned rationale and review of the Veteran's file, concluding there was no evidence linking the brain tumor to active service.
