Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for hypothyroidism and hypertension, both of which are presumed to be related to the Veteran's exposure to herbicides during his active service. The claim for sleep apnea was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a presumption of service connection for hypothyroidism and hypertension due to the Veteran's exposure to certain herbicides, but not for sleep apnea.
