Granted
The Board granted service connection for frontotemporal dementia and special monthly compensation based on the need of aid and attendance due to the Veteran's in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted as the Veteran's current disability is related to her in-service exposure to herbicides, meeting the criteria under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(a).
