Granted
The Board granted service connection for an ulcer and an abdominal scar, secondary to the ulcer, based on the Veteran's participation in a toxic risk exposure activity (TERA) during his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran and found that the evidence demonstrated that all elements of the service connection claim were met during the pendency of this appeal.
