DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and lung cancer. The evidence did not show these conditions were related to the veteran's service or exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence weighs against finding that the Veteran's diagnosed conditions began during service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
