Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, Parkinsonism, residuals of skin cancer, actinic keratosis, and non-specific dermatitis based on the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service in Thailand, and there is a nexus between these conditions and such exposure.
