Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for atopic dermatitis is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's skin condition is related to in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a medical nexus opinion from the Veteran's private dermatologist linking the atopic dermatitis to environmental triggers during service, including herbicide agents and burn pits.
