Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for arrhythmia and a bilateral eye disability, but denied service connection for lipoma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's arrhythmia and bilateral eye disability were directly related to his active naval service, while the lipoma was not shown to have resulted from his service. The PACT Act provided presumptive exposure to burn pits during his service in Southwest Asia.
