The Veteran seeks service connection for a heart disability, but the appeal is remanded due to incomplete personnel records and potential exposure to herbicides near the Korean DMZ. The Board will determine if the Veteran's units were in an area where herbicides were applied.
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient information regarding herbicide exposure and a need for a VA examination to determine if prostate cancer or heart disease is related to in-service exposure to specific chemicals.
The Veteran's PTSD has been granted service connection, but a higher initial rating of over 70% is denied. The Veteran was also granted TDIU status.
