DismissedPACT Act

The veteran's appeal for service connection of gastrointestinal symptoms was dismissed because the VA already granted benefits under the PACT Act.

The deciding factor: The Board dismissed the appeal as moot since service connection had been granted and there is no current case or controversy in dispute regarding the award.
