DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of coronary artery disease (CAD) prior to August 10, 2022. The decision was based on a lack of evidence supporting direct exposure to herbicide agents or other qualifying conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence weighs persuasively against a finding that the Veteran's coronary artery disease is related to service under a theory of entitlement other than on a presumptive basis pursuant to the PACT Act.
