Denied
The Board denied service connection for coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus II, finding no evidence of in-service incurrence or etiological relationship to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran was directly exposed to herbicides during service or that his heart disability and diabetes were otherwise related to service.
