Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD) under the PACT Act, but remanded the claim to consider direct service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD is presumed to be related to herbicide exposure during service due to his time in Guam and the passage of the PACT Act. However, a direct link may also exist which requires further evidence.
