Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for arteriosclerotic heart disease, finding that the evidence is within approximate balance that it was caused by toxic exposure during service in Southwest Asia.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was approximately equal and applied the benefit of the doubt to grant service connection based on the Veteran's toxic exposure risk activities.
