GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for a heart disability, to include coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease, and prostate cancer residuals under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in at least approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's heart disability is related to his in-service TERA participation. The Veteran met the criteria of a covered veteran under section 1119 in the PACT Act for prostate cancer residuals.
