Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer, coronary artery disease, and hypertension due to herbicide exposure during the Veteran's active service in Korea.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service in Korea, which is a basis for granting service connection under the presumption of service connection for certain diseases associated with such exposure.
