Granted
The Board granted service connection for autoimmune hepatitis and rheumatoid arthritis, both found to be related to the Veteran's in-service toxic exposures at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The January 2025 VA examination provided a well-reasoned opinion that the Veteran's conditions were caused by his in-service toxic exposure risk activities, considering all applicable military deployments and environmental exposures.
