Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left eye pinguecula, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that it is etiologically related to his service.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA positive TERA nexus opinion provided significant probative weight as it cited relevant medical literature and considered the Veteran's history of TERA exposures.
