Granted
The Board granted service connection for Adenocarcinoma of the prostate, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran based on his claimed radiation exposure during active duty.
The deciding factor: The August 2020 private medical opinion considered all the Veteran's claimed radiation exposures and concluded that it is as likely as not the Veteran's prostate cancer was connected to his active-duty service.
