Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for the Veteran's lung cancer condition due to herbicide exposure and remanded claims for service connection of bilateral eyes, dementia, internal bleeding, liver, teeth, left hip, TBI, and skull fracture conditions.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence establishes functional impairment and a diagnosis of lung cancer, and VA conceded herbicide exposure. The Veteran's claimed condition is linked to service on a presumptive basis.
