Granted
The Board granted service connection for basal cell carcinoma on the face, finding that it was at least as likely as not incurred in or caused by active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively favored the conclusion that the Veteran's BCC was at least as likely as not to have begun during service due to chronic sun exposure.
