Granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals from hernia surgery, to include groin pain, finding that the Veteran's current condition is at least as likely as not caused by his in-service hernia surgery.
The deciding factor: The private doctor's opinion provided a positive nexus between the Veteran's in-service hernia surgery and his current groin pain.
