- Whole decision: Partly grantedMarch 2002
The Board has reopened the claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death due to malignant melanoma, but finds that exposure to Agent Orange did not contribute substantially or materially to his death. The Board also found new and material evidence supporting a reopening of the claim.
- Whole decision: DeniedMarch 2002
The Board denied service connection for all claimed conditions, finding that none were incurred or aggravated by active service and not due to exposure in the Persian Gulf. The veteran's skin disability was not related to his military service, chronic fatigue is presumed due to service in the Persian Gulf, weight loss has no presumptive basis, parotidectomy is not service-connected, and hypothyroidism did not arise during or as a result of active service.
