DismissedPACT Act
The Board dismissed the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection based on herbicide exposure and denied a compensable rating for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because it did not allege specific errors in the determination being appealed, and the evidence did not support a higher rating for hypertension.
