Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sarcoidosis due to the Veteran's exposure to toxins at Camp Lejeune, but remanded the claim for scleroderma for further development.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by a physician was found to be more credible and weighed in favor of granting service connection for sarcoidosis.
