Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II on a facts-found basis effective May 8, 2019, but denied an increased rating in excess of 20 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during service, and he had a current diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type II. However, his diabetes did not require regulation of activities or result in complications, so an increased rating was denied.
