The Veteran's claims for service connection for an immune disorder and a blood disease have been denied as there is no probative medical evidence of current disabilities or a causal relationship to in-service exposure.
The deciding factor: There is no probative medical evidence indicating the Veteran has current diagnoses of an immune disorder or a blood disease related to his military service, including any potential Camp Lejeune exposure.
