Granted
The Board granted service connection for arteriosclerotic heart disease and ventricular arrhythmias, finding that the evidence supports a link to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient evidence of an in-service nuclear weapon exposure and a chronicity and continuity of symptoms from 2003 to present, supporting a presumptive link to service for both conditions.
