Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer and remanded claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder and erectile dysfunction, to be evaluated as secondary to the service-connected prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The private clinician's opinion provided significant probative weight in establishing a nexus between the Veteran's current disability of prostate cancer and his in-service exposure to water contaminants at Camp Lejeune.
