Granted
The Board granted service connection for pancreatic cancer, finding that the evidence is in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's condition was due to his in-service exposure to toxic and environmental hazards.
The deciding factor: The Board found the opinions of Drs. E.A. and C.K. more persuasive than those of the VA examiners, as they provided well-supported conclusions based on a thorough review of the medical records and relevant evidence.
