Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer and kidney cancer under the PACT Act, but remanded claims for erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer on a basis other than the PACT Act, and kidney cancer on a basis other than the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: Prostate and kidney cancers were granted based on presumed exposure to burn pits during service. Other claims require further evidence or examination.
