Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance and supports a nexus between the Veteran's active-duty service and his current condition.
The deciding factor: The August 2025 private opinion provided significant probative value due to its detailed analysis of asbestos exposure during service and its consistency with medical records.
