GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for bladder cancer based on the Veteran's exposure to tactical herbicides in Thailand, as supported by the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran had a TDY assignment to U-Tapao Royal Thai Air Force Base from July to September 1973, which put him in contact with the perimeter of the base and thus exposed him to tactical herbicides.
