Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, but remanded the claims for type II diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral upper extremities.
The deciding factor: Prostate cancer was related to in-service asbestos exposure; other conditions required further development due to potential toxic exposures.
