The Veteran's service connection for lung cancer and entitlement to TDIU were granted.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted under the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins Act of 2022 (PACT Act) due to presumed herbicide exposure in Thailand, and a TDIU was granted based on the Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendering him unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment.
