Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for skin condition, adjustment disorder (claimed as memory issues), and loss of teeth, all secondary to the Veteran's service-connected dysphagia status post stage four squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; malignant neoplasm of lymph nodes of the head, face, neck. The claims for infertility and TDIU were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the current disabilities and the Veteran's service-connected conditions based on medical evidence provided by VA examiners.
