Granted
The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, finding that his glioblastoma was at least as likely as not related to conceded exposure to herbicides in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The private oncologist provided a well-reasoned medical opinion supporting the conclusion that the Veteran's glioblastoma was caused by his exposure to herbicides during service.
