The Board has denied the Veteran's claim for service connection of an enlarged prostate condition, finding that there is no evidence to support a link between his current condition and his military service or exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations provided opinions indicating that the Veteran's enlarged prostate condition is not related to his in-service service or exposure to herbicide agents. The medical evidence does not establish a nexus between the Veteran's current condition and his military service.
