Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, acknowledging that the evidence was at least in equipoise regarding the relationship between the veteran's exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and his current condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence for and against a nexus between military service and the Veteran's current lung cancer was at least in equipoise, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
