The Board dismissed the veteran's appeal as to his claim for service connection for peripheral neuropathy, secondary to diabetes mellitus. The Board also denied the veteran's claim for service connection for peripheral neuropathy, secondary to Agent Orange exposure. The decision is considered withdrawn due to the veteran's withdrawal of the secondary to diabetes mellitus issue.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not establish a link between the veteran's current peripheral neuropathy and his military service or any incident therein, including as related to Agent Orange exposure.
