Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the veteran's service and his death.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the veteran's death was proximately due to or the result of his period of service, including exposure to herbicides.
