Denied
The Board denied service connection for pancreatic cancer and a weakened immune system and inflammation, as well as the cause of death and death benefits under 38 U.S.C. § 1318.
The deciding factor: Pancreatic cancer and a weakened immune system and inflammation were not shown to be related to service or secondary to any service-connected condition, and there was no evidence that they caused or contributed substantially to the Veteran's death.
