GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer based on the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during his service in Thailand, which is presumed due to the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's duties placed him near the perimeter of Udorn RTAFB, resulting in exposure to herbicide agents. Given his current diagnosis and the presumption under the PACT Act, service connection for prostate cancer was granted.
