Granted
The Board granted service connection for basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, finding that the Veteran's condition is likely related to his exposure to herbicide agents during service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examiner opined that the claimed conditions were at least as likely as not caused by herbicide exposure while serving in Vietnam.
