Granted
The Board granted service connection for Alzheimer's dementia, finding it is at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's in-service exposure to herbicide agents in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the favorable findings of presumed exposure to herbicide agents and the positive medical nexus opinion linking the condition to such exposure.
