Granted
The Board granted service connection for bladder cancer, colorectal adenomas, and a left toe condition based on new and relevant evidence that the Veteran's conditions were caused by exposure to toxic chemicals during his service at Fort McClellan.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively favors the conclusion that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's bladder cancer, colorectal adenomas, and left toe condition were caused by his exposure to toxic chemicals during service.
