Granted
The Board granted service connection for pulmonary fibrosis, finding it to be related to the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by the Veteran's representative was found probative and established a nexus between the Veteran's pulmonary fibrosis and his exposure to Agent Orange.
