Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, finding that the Veteran's in-service benzene exposure caused his condition.
The deciding factor: The clinician's opinion and the Veteran's VA treating oncologist's conclusion supported a medical nexus between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his in-service benzene exposure at Camp LeJeune.
