Granted
The Board granted service connection for bladder cancer, diabetes mellitus, type 2, and an acquired psychiatric disability (unspecified depressive disorder), but denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claims based on presumptive service connection due to exposure to herbicide agents during his service in Korea.
