Granted
The Board granted service connection for liposarcoma, finding that the Veteran's condition was incurred due to toxic exposure risk activities during his service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's routine exposure to diesel exhaust fumes in a submarine vessel and the presumptive link between such exposure and soft-tissue sarcomas like liposarcoma.
