Granted
The Board granted service connection for glaucoma, finding that the Veteran's symptoms began during active service and were related to his time at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The February 2021 VA medical opinion provided a highly persuasive rationale connecting the Veteran's glaucoma to his in-service events and the progression of symptoms post-service.
