Granted
The Board granted service connection for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and actinic keratosis based on the Veteran's in-service sun exposure while flying as a pilot.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established due to the medical nexus linking the Veteran's skin conditions to his in-service sun exposure during military service.
