deedub75's post in VA Decision letter vs ebenefits was marked as the answer
It could be that an error was made by the rater and it was corrected. You'll know for sure if you get another letter.

deedub75's post in Agent Orange on aircraft carrier. was marked as the answer
There’s no way he got granted service connection for prostate cancer due to AO based on his story alone. As shrek pointed out, the ship need only be within 12 nautical miles of Vietnam. So, if he was on the ship within the correct timeframe, the ship was close enough to Vietnam, and he has prostate cancer then he would be granted service connection. I think even just having AO on board could be enough too if it could be proven that the ship was carrying it.
As for the PTSD, if the incident happened on board the ship, I don’t think it would even matter if he witnessed it or not.
