GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted presumptive service connection for residuals of prostate cancer under the PACT Act due to the Veteran's presumed exposure to burn pit toxins during his service in Kuwait.
The deciding factor: The Veteran meets the criteria for presumptive service connection for his residuals of prostate cancer pursuant to the PACT Act, as he served in a location where BPOT is presumed and prostate cancer is also presumed to be due to such exposure.
