Denied
The Board denied service connection for a kidney cyst, finding no nexus between the Veteran's current condition and his exposure to herbicide agents in service.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiner's opinion concluded that it is less likely than not that the Veteran's kidney cyst was related to his service or exposure to herbicide agents.
