The Board granted service connection for the cause of death due to angioblastic T-cell lymphoma, a condition covered by the presumption of exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's 30 days of service at Camp Lejeune established presumptive exposure to contaminants in the water supply, and his death from angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma is included within the statutory presumption for such exposure.
