Granted
The Board granted service connection for peripheral neuropathy of the left and right lower extremities due to exposure to herbicide agents, finding that the evidence supports a relationship between the Veteran's in-service exposure and his current condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance that the bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy is related to service, specifically the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents while serving in Vietnam.
