Granted
The Board granted service connection for hyperthyroidism, including Graves' disease, related to herbicide exposure in service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's hyperthyroidism is related to his herbicide exposure in service, and the benefit of the doubt was given to the Veteran.
