The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and voiding dysfunction based on presumptive exposure to herbicide agents during the Veteran's service in Thailand.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to the Veteran's presumed exposure to herbicide agents during his service at a Royal Thai base, which is covered under the PACT Act of 2022 for prostate cancer and hypertension. For erectile dysfunction and voiding dysfunction, these conditions are considered secondary to the service-connected prostate cancer.
