Granted
The Board granted service connection for Parkinson's disease, finding that it is at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during his service in Korea.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion and the Veteran's testimony provided sufficient evidence to establish a direct link between the Veteran's Parkinson's disease and his military service, including his exposure to Agent Orange.
