Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for prostate cancer and coronary artery disease (CAD) were granted. The claim for stable angina was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence of record is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's prostate cancer and CAD are related to his presumed toxic exposure during service in Southwest Asia theater of operations.
