Granted
The Board granted service connection for interstitial pulmonary disease, resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran based on his exposure to herbicides during service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided greater probative weight as it considered all pertinent evidence and offered a clear rationale connecting the Veteran's condition to his service exposure.
