The Board denied service connection for memory loss, sleep apnea, hypertension, diabetes, residuals of a stroke, and tremors. However, it granted service connection for bladder cancer and prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities causing memory loss, sleep apnea, hypertension, diabetes, or residuals of a stroke, nor was there sufficient evidence to link these conditions to herbicide exposure or other in-service events. However, the Veteran's claims for bladder cancer and prostate cancer were granted based on service connection under the PACT Act.
