GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, which is presumed to be related to herbicide exposure during the Veteran's service in Korea.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding that the Veteran served in a unit that operated near the Korean DMZ and was therefore presumed to have been exposed to herbicide agents, leading to his current diagnosis of hypertension.
