Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for sarcoidosis and necrobiotic granulomata under the PACT Act, but remanded claims for compensable evaluations of surgical scars.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's presumed exposure to burn pits during active duty in Southwest Asia as per the PACT Act.
