Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypothyroidism as due to herbicide agent exposure based on the Veteran's in-service exposure to Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypothyroidism is related to his in-service exposure to herbicide agents and is not attributable to an intercurrent cause, and it has been presumptively linked to Agent Orange exposure during service.
