GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for peripheral vascular disease to include bilateral iliac artery stenosis, finding a proximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's condition and active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the favorable findings related to exposure to herbicides and contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, as well as the May 2023 VA medical opinion that the toxic exposure likely led to the Veteran's bilateral iliac artery condition.
