The Board denied service connection for all of the Veteran's claimed conditions, including Hepatitis C, angina, bone cancer, an acquired psychiatric disorder (likely depression or anxiety), erectile dysfunction, GERD, herpes, hypertension, jaw disability, left arm disability, left knee disability, left leg disability, left shoulder disability, lung cancer, prostate cancer, sinusitis, and sore throat. The Board found that there was no evidence of in-service incurrence or continuity of symptomatology for any of these conditions.

The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran did not have a current diagnosis for most of his claimed conditions and that the available medical evidence did not support a finding of service connection based on direct service connection, secondary service connection, or exposure to herbicide agents.
