Denied
The Board denied payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical care for cancer and hepatic steatosis as a Camp Lejeune family member due to the clinical finding that these conditions did not result from exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against a finding that hepatic steatosis or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma resulted from the appellant's residence at Camp Lejeune, and there is no legal basis for payment under the Camp Lejeune Family Member Program.
