DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, and a heart condition due to lack of evidence showing the Veteran's service in Vietnam or exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were denied because his service records did not show deployment to Vietnam and his statements about a secret mission were not credible.
