Granted
The Board granted service connection for coronary artery disease, which is presumed to be related to the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The presumption of service connection was not rebutted by affirmative evidence to the contrary, and the medical opinions supporting this conclusion were found to be inadequate.
