Denied
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, finding that there was no credible medical evidence linking pancreatic cancer to his military service at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions provided a sufficiently thorough rationale, concluding that given the lack of medical literature conclusively linking contaminated waters at Camp Lejeune to pancreatic cancer, the Veteran's pancreatic cancer was not caused by it.
