The Veteran's diabetes mellitus, bladder cancer, hypertension, male reproductive organ condition (erectile dysfunction), peripheral vascular disease, gross hematuria, and retinopathy and diplopia are all granted as service-connected due to herbicide exposure during his military service.,Service connection for these conditions is based on the presumption that they were caused by exposure to herbicides in Thailand.

The Veteran's bladder and prostate cancers are granted service connection due to exposure to herbicide agents during his time in Thailand, as provided by the PACT Act of 2022.

The Board denied service connection for the claimed conditions, finding no direct link between the Veteran's active-duty service and his current disabilities.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the onset of the Veteran's bladder cancer and his exposure to herbicide agents. The claim will be further developed with additional medical records and an examination.
