GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for testicular cancer under the PACT Act, presuming it resulted from in-service exposure to burn pits.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted on a presumptive basis due to the Veteran's active duty service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations and his diagnosis of testicular cancer, which is associated with exposure to burn pits under the PACT Act.
