Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer due to exposure to contaminated water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, finding no evidence linking the condition to in-service exposure.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions and lack of a direct link between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his exposure to contaminated water were determining factors.
