Granted
The Board granted service connection for neuropathy in both the right and left lower extremities, based on in-service herbicide agent exposure during the Vietnam War.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's current neuropathy is due to in-service herbicide agent exposure, meeting the criteria for presumptive service connection under 38 U.S.C. § 1116 and 38 C.F.R. § 3.309.
