The Veteran's claim for service connection for polyneuropathy of the upper and lower extremities, to include as secondary to herbicide exposure, was denied. The issue of TDIU is not addressed in this decision.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's currently diagnosed polyneuropathy of the upper and lower extremities was related to his active duty service or secondary to herbicide exposure.
