GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted an effective date of June 6, 2019, for the award of service connection for coronary artery disease based on the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents in Thailand.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively demonstrated that the Veteran served near the perimeter of bases where herbicides were used for security purposes, thus granting service connection under the PACT Act.
