Granted
The Board granted service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, finding that his cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) was related to his in-service herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the private medical opinion provided more probative weight and detailed evidence supporting a link between the Veteran's herbicide exposure and CAA.
