Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and hypertension as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to in-service herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: There was no persuasive evidence of herbicide exposure during service, and the evidence did not establish a link between the claimed conditions and an in-service injury or disease.
