Granted
The Board granted service connection for colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer based on new evidence and the Veteran's exposure to contaminated Camp Lejeune water.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a positive nexus opinion linking the Veteran's colorectal cancer to his in-service exposure to contaminants from Camp Lejeune, as well as the metastasis of colorectal cancer to the lungs and prostate, warranting service connection for those conditions as secondary disabilities.
