Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypothyroidism, finding it to be related to the Veteran's in-service herbicide agent exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance that the Veteran has a current diagnosis of hypothyroidism and his exposure to herbicide agents during service is presumed to have caused this condition.
