Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma under the PACT Act, but denied it prior to its enactment.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's presumed exposure to herbicides due to his service in Thailand during the Vietnam Era, as provided by the PACT Act. The evidence did not support a grant of service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma under the pre-PACT Act law.
