The Board has remanded the case due to a stay on claims involving new presumptions of service connection for ischemic heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and B cell leukemias based upon exposure to herbicides used in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam era. The cardiovascular disorder claim is subject to this stay.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has been diagnosed as having coronary heart disease and is presumed to have been exposed to herbicides during his service in Vietnam, making the cardiovascular disorder claim subject to a stay on new presumptions of service connection for ischemic heart disease based upon exposure to herbicides used in the Republic of Vietnam.
