DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer, finding no medical evidence linking the condition to his active-duty service or toxic exposure risk activity.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA medical opinion concluded that there is 'less likely than not' a causal relationship between the Veteran's diagnosed prostate cancer and his in-service TERA exposure, citing lack of evidence supporting such a link.
