Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer due to exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports an etiological relationship between the Veteran's service and his prostate cancer, as noted in a private medical opinion from Dr. J.R., who treated the Veteran for nearly 30 years.
