The Board has dismissed the appeal for service connection for testicle removal. The Veteran's left foot skin condition was denied as not incurred in or aggravated by active military service, nor may it be presumed to have been incurred in service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the Veteran's current left foot skin condition and his military service, including exposure to herbicides.
