The Board granted service connection for residuals of testicular cancer, finding that the evidence was in approximate balance and warranting the benefit of the doubt.
The deciding factor: Service connection is warranted as the Veteran's testicular cancer was diagnosed within a year of discharge from service, qualifying under the presumptive provisions for chronic diseases.
