Granted
The Board granted service connection for iron deficiency anemia, finding that the evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether it began during active duty.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the application of the benefit-of-the-doubt standard due to the relative equipoise in the evidence regarding the onset of the Veteran's anemia during service.
