Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for residuals of pacemaker installation, which is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected atrial fibrillation. The claim for service connection for residuals of colon cancer was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's pacemaker installation and his service-connected atrial fibrillation, but there was no credible evidence linking the Veteran's colon cancer to herbicide exposure or any other in-service event.
