The appeal is remanded for additional development, including VCAA compliance and further factual development regarding the Veteran's exposure to Agent Orange.

The Veteran's diabetes mellitus is service-connected as it had its onset during active service.

The Board denied service connection for hypertension and diabetes mellitus, type II, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable disability rating for deformed duodenal bulb and service connection for coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and an acquired psychiatric disorder.

The Veteran's diabetes mellitus was found to have manifested within one year of his service discharge, warranting a grant of service connection.

The veteran did not submit a timely substantive appeal with regard to the September 2002 and October 2002 rating decisions, which denied an initial evaluation in excess of 50 percent for PTSD, an initial evaluation in excess of 20 percent for diabetes mellitus, service connection for a heart disorder, service connection for hearing loss, and entitlement to TDIU.

The Veteran's service connection for diabetes mellitus and hypertension was granted, while claims for asthma and meralgia paresthetica were denied.

The Veteran does not have diabetes mellitus, and service connection for diabetes mellitus claimed as secondary to Agent Orange exposure is denied.

The Board denied the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, finding that there was no evidence of symptoms during service and no medical evidence linking the condition to service.

The Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date and a higher initial rating for diabetes mellitus Type II was denied as the evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher disability rating.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of diabetes mellitus, Type II, as there was no evidence that he had filed a claim prior to March 23, 2001.

The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, diabetes mellitus, type II, hypertension, peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities, erectile dysfunction, cataracts, residuals of a cold injury, tinnitus, dental disorder, and left leg disorder as there was no evidence to support a diagnosis or link to service.

The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, Type II, peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities as there was no evidence of in-service exposure to a herbicide agent or medical evidence linking these conditions to active duty.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for depression, irritable bowel syndrome, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus were denied as new and material evidence was not submitted. The claim for PTSD was reopened but ultimately denied due to the lack of a valid diagnosis.

The Board granted service connection for type II diabetes mellitus based on the veteran's claimed exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, as he reasonably had visitation in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam Era.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus, a chronic low back disability (muscle spasms), and a bilateral foot disorder as new and material evidence was not submitted to reopen the previously-denied claims.

The Board denied service connection for hypertension and a stomach ulcer, finding that the preponderance of evidence showed these conditions were not related to service or to an incident of service origin, or to his service-connected PTSD.
