Granted
The Board granted service connection for thyroid cancer, finding that the Veteran's condition was related to radiation exposure during his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 private medical opinion provided by a medical professional linked the Veteran's thyroid cancer to in-service radiation exposure, and this opinion was found to be dispositive of the issue at hand.
