Granted
The Board granted service connection for heart disease and diabetes, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether these conditions are etiologically related to service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and his toxic exposure at Wurtsmith Air Force Base (WAFB), giving the benefit of the doubt where the evidence was in approximate balance.
