Denied
The Board denied the claims for an earlier effective date for service connection for the cause of death and for service connection for prostate cancer, finding no evidence supporting a link between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's prostate cancer and any in-service event or exposure, including radiation. The Board found that there was clear and unmistakable error in previous findings of a link between the Veteran's prostate cancer and an in-service event or injury.
