DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for congestive heart failure, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that congestive heart failure began during active service or was otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease including TERA while serving in Southwest Asia.
