GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the award of service connection for multiple myeloma and chronic kidney disease, stage IV (CKD), based on continuous pursuit of the issue.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a grant of service connection on a direct basis without relying on the PACT Act, as the Veteran's multiple myeloma is at least as likely as not related to his in-service toxic exposures.
