Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for non-allergic rhinitis, lung nodules, prostate cancer, and diabetes mellitus due to herbicide agent exposure. The claims for an ocular disorder and kidney disease were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately evenly balanced as to the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents and the relationship between his claimed conditions and such exposure, with reasonable doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran where applicable.
