GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for coronary artery disease and hypertension under the PACT Act, presumptively linking both conditions to herbicide agent exposure in Thailand.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service in Thailand, which is covered by the PACT Act, thus granting service connection on a presumptive basis.
