Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer and residuals, including erectile dysfunction and voiding dysfunction, as due to herbicide exposure based on the evidence showing that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents while serving at Fort McClellan.
The deciding factor: There is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding whether the Veteran's prostate cancer and residuals are related to his military service, and reasonable doubt will be resolved in favor of the claimant.
