GrantedPACT Act
The Veteran's hypertension is granted service connection due to his exposure to herbicides in-service, and a skin disorder of the feet is remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided a direct link between the Veteran's hypertension and his active duty service, including his exposure to herbicides. For the skin disorder, the Board found the current evidence insufficient and required a new examination.
