DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for bronchiectasis, finding that the evidence did not support a direct or presumptive link to herbicide exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no medical relationship between the Veteran's chronic bronchiectasis and his service or any service-connected disability, as supported by the VA examiner's opinion.
