GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, heart disease, and small intestine cancer based on herbicide exposure due to the Veteran's duties at Korat Royal Air Force Base.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted as the Veteran's duties likely placed him near the perimeter of the base, allowing for a presumption of herbicide exposure under the PACT Act.
