Granted
The Board granted service connection for peripheral neuropathy in all four extremities, finding a relationship to the Veteran's in-service herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence was persuasive that the Veteran's neuropathies were related to his in-service Agent Orange exposure due to the opinions of treating physicians and the presence of documented exposure.
