The Board has denied the veteran's claim of service connection for neurogenic bladder, finding no evidence linking it to his military service or exposure to herbicides.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence linking the veteran's neurogenic bladder to his military service or any incident therein, including exposure to Agent Orange. The condition was first diagnosed many years after service ended.
