Granted
The Veteran's appeal for service connection of prostate cancer was granted. The Board found that the Veteran's prostate cancer is due, at least in part, to exposure to fuel during his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board assigned significant probative weight to a private medical opinion stating that the Veteran's prostate cancer was caused by his military service, specifically exposure to jet fuel.
