Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for skin cancer disability, finding it related to the Veteran's in-service exposure to the sun while working as an aircraft mechanic.
The deciding factor: The Board found a highly probative medical opinion supporting the link between the Veteran's skin cancer and his in-service sun exposure, meeting all elements of direct service connection.
