Granted
The Veteran's Parkinson's disease and related disabilities are service-connected. The Board granted the appeal for both issues.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's Parkinson's disease was proximately due to in-service toxic exposures, specifically asbestos, and that his secondary disabilities were proximately due to Parkinson's disease.
