Granted
The Board granted service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD) based on the Veteran's presumed exposure to herbicides during his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance that the Veteran had CAD during the course of the present claim and appeal, and he is presumed to have been exposed to tactical herbicide agents.
