Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, finding that the evidence supports a link between the Veteran's condition and toxic exposure during his military service at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 private medical opinion provided by Dr. G.R., M.D., was found to be adequate and supported the claim, while the October 2023 and 2024 VA opinions were deemed inadequate due to lack of supporting rationale for their conclusions.
