Granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on his inservice toxic risk exposure activities.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current diabetes mellitus, type II, is related to his military service, and the Board resolved all doubts in favor of the Veteran.
