Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for squamous cell carcinoma, finding that the probative evidence did not support a link between the condition and his in-service exposure to Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions found no causal relationship between the Veteran's squamous cell carcinoma and his in-service exposure to herbicides, citing ultraviolet radiation as the primary cause of the cancer.
