Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, finding that it was at least as likely as not incurred in service due to exposure to water contaminants at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The positive medical opinions outweigh the negative one, supporting a causal link between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his exposure to water contaminants during active service at Camp Lejeune.
