Granted
The Board granted service connection for a heart disability, to include coronary artery disease (CAD), due to conceded herbicide agent exposure.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's diagnosis of CAD and his conceded exposure to herbicide agents during service, which is subject to presumptive service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(e).
