Granted
The Board granted service connection for pancreatic cancer, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran based on evidence suggesting his condition was caused by exposure to herbicide agents during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's pancreatic cancer was caused by exposure to herbicide agents during active service, and thus service connection is warranted.
