Granted
The Board granted service connection for liver cancer for accrued benefits purposes, finding that the Veteran's condition was directly related to in-service ionizing radiation exposure.
The deciding factor: A medical nexus was established by two private oncologists who opined that the Veteran's liver cancer was more likely than not a direct result of his in-service ionizing radiation exposure.
