GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma based on the Veteran's exposure to toxic substances during his deployment in Kuwait, as supported by a private medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The treating oncologist opined that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was caused by his in-service exposure to toxic chemicals.
