Granted
The Board granted service connection for polyneuropathy of the left lower extremity, right lower extremity, left upper extremity and right upper extremity based on a finding that it is at least as likely as not that these conditions are related to the Veteran's exposure to Agent Orange during his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's polyneuropathy is at least as likely as not caused by his exposure to Agent Orange, supported by scientific literature showing a causal relationship between such exposure and peripheral neuropathy.
