Granted
The Board granted service connection for Parkinson's disease, presuming it is due to the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during his service in Korea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's competent and credible statements, along with VA medical records, established his presumed exposure to Agent Orange, leading to the grant of service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(e).
