Granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer with residuals, which is presumptively related to the Veteran's in-service herbicide exposure at U-Tapao base in Thailand during the Vietnam era.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's prostate cancer was found to be as likely as not related to his exposure to Agent Orange while serving at U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield, and thus is presumptively service-connected.
