Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hand tremors diagnosed as Parkinsonism, finding a link to the Veteran's in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran and found that his hand tremors are related to his conceded in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
