Granted
The Veteran's service connection for atherosclerotic heart disease, CAD, cardiac arrhythmia, and CHF associated with a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's exposure to aviation petroleum products during active service was an etiological factor in his development of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found competent medical evidence establishing that the Veteran's exposure to jet fuel during active service was a cause of his heart condition.
