Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and polycythemia, both related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's conditions were related to his service or exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, so reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
