Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for scarring, right orchiopexy and remanded the claim of asbestos exposure residuals. Other claims for service connection were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease, except for the scarring due to right orchiopexy which was linked to his service-connected residuals of testicular cancer.
