Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board reversed the severance of service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD) due to a clear and unmistakable error (CUE). Service connection for CAD was reinstated effective March 1, 2016.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence at the time of the April 2012 rating decision did not definitively show that the Veteran was not exposed to herbicides on Johnston Island.
