GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted an effective date of December 30, 2021 for the grant of service connection for prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, and scars status-post robotic radical prostatectomy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service at Ubon RTAFB, Thailand, and the PACT Act provided a presumption of exposure leading to an earlier effective date than the initial grant in 2023.
