Granted
The Board granted service connection for multiple myeloma, finding that the Veteran's condition was caused by his conceded in-service toxic risk exposure activities.
The deciding factor: The private oncologist opinion provided a reasoned analysis linking the Veteran's multiple myeloma to his conceded TERA, while the VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate.
