Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for breast cancer under the PACT Act and remanded the claim for further development regarding other bases of entitlement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's breast cancer is presumed to be related to in-service exposure to burn pits due to her status as a covered veteran under the PACT Act, but additional evidence is needed to determine if service connection can be established on other grounds.
