Granted
The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, concluding that glioblastoma was at least as likely as not related to herbicide exposure during active service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion from Dr. J.L., treating the Veteran for 10 years prior to his death, concluded that it was as likely as not that the Veteran's glioblastoma was caused by exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, and this opinion was found credible by the Board.
