Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's nerve disabilities in all four extremities, concluding that the evidence does not establish a link to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has not related his nerve disabilities to any in-service injury or event other than herbicide agent exposure, and VA has determined there is no positive association with herbicide agent exposure and chronic peripheral nervous system disorders.
