Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for Parkinson's disease, to include as secondary to herbicide exposure. The claim for scleroderma was remanded.
The deciding factor: Parkinson's disease is presumptively service connected due to the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during active service. Scleroderma requires further evidence and an examination before a decision can be made.
