Granted
The Board granted service connection for a brain tumor, finding that the Veteran's diagnosed glioblastoma is related to his active duty service exposure to radar emissions.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by a Board-certified radiation oncologist was found to be more probative than the VA examiner's opinion due to its detailed rationale and supporting evidence.
