The Board denied the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for a right testicle disorder, finding that there is no evidence linking his current condition to his military service or Agent Orange exposure.
The deciding factor: There was no competent medical evidence showing a current right testicle disability due to service and the veteran's lay assertions were not sufficient to establish a link between his current condition and service.
