Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction status-post radical prostatectomy and erectile dysfunction as secondary to the same, based on exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current prostate disability was found to be at least as likely as not related to his exposures to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, which is a presumptive condition under VA law.
