DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied the claim for service connection for hydrocephalus and TDIU, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between the Veteran's hydrocephalus and his in-service chemical exposure or any service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 VA medical opinions concluded that there was no objective evidence indicating a connection to the Veteran's toxic exposures during service, and the Board found these opinions weighed significantly against the claim for service connection.
