Denied

The Board denied service connection for both lymphocytic lymphoma and anemia, finding no evidence of in-service exposure to herbicide agents or other contaminants that could have caused these conditions.

The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran's statements and submitted materials were not competent or probative evidence regarding actual exposure during service.
