GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, finding that his metastatic lung carcinoma was related to his in-service toxic exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 private opinion provided by a radiation oncologist was found highly probative and persuasive due to its thorough medical analysis supporting the conclusion that the Veteran's lung cancer, which was the primary cause of death, was related to his service at Camp Lejeune.
