DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's hypothyroidism, finding that it was not related to military service but rather caused by treatment for Graves' disease.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence established that the veteran's hypothyroidism was due to radioactive iodine treatment for non-service-connected Graves' disease.
