The Board denied service connection for iron deficiency anemia and remanded the claim for a prostate condition, to include prostatitis and prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran's anemia was related to his time in service or exposure at Camp Lejeune. The VA examiner determined the Veteran's anemia was less likely than not the result of Camp Lejeune service, citing a lack of medical evidence supporting a causal connection.
