GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for brain tumor due to exposure to ionizing radiation, finding a nexus between the Veteran's in-service exposure and his current condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding the relationship between the Veteran's brain tumor and his in-service exposure to ionizing radiation, and thus applied the benefit-of-the-doubt doctrine.
