Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for diabetic neuropathy and hypertension under the PACT Act, but remanded claims for service connection for a stroke and hypertension on direct or secondary basis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's diabetic neuropathy was found to be related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus, while hypertension was presumed due to in-service exposure to herbicide agents under the PACT Act. The other issues were remanded for further development.
