Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer residuals, Parkinson's disease, ischemic heart disease, hypothyroidism, peripheral neuropathy, and testicular disability on a basis other than the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents while stationed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The Board finds that the Veteran's disabilities are directly attributable to service based on his exposure and medical records.
