Denied
The Board denied service connection for tremors of the right and left hands, finding no current diagnosis. The Veteran's basal cell carcinoma behind his ear is rated at 0 percent.,Service connection was not granted as there were no diagnosed conditions related to Agent Orange exposure or other military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of tremors of the hands, and the Veteran’s basal cell carcinoma does not meet criteria for a compensable rating due to lack of disfigurement.
