Granted
The Board granted service connection for coronary artery disease, which is presumed related to in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The pattern of disability followed those conditions known to be linked to exposure to Agent Orange, and the evidence supported the Veteran's statements regarding his in-service experiences and exposure to herbicide agents.
