Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) due to herbicide exposure during service, but denied a compensable rating for tinea pedis and service connection for a right foot condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD is presumed to be related to direct exposure to toxic chemicals during service, while the evidence does not support a compensable rating for tinea pedis or a finding of a current right foot disability related to service.
