The Veteran's hand tremors were not incurred during or related to his period of active service, and any current hand tremors are unrelated to service, including exposure to herbicide agents.,Service connection for erectile dysfunction is remanded due to the need for additional medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hand tremors were considered essential benign tremors and not related to his period of active service. The probative evidence does not establish a continuity of symptomatology for his current hand tremors.,There is insufficient evidence to determine the cause of the Veteran's erectile dysfunction, including whether it was incurred during or caused by his period of active service.
