The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for tremors in both upper extremities, finding no evidence that these conditions were related to his military service or exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's bilateral upper extremity essential tremor was less likely than not incurred in or caused by active duty and that there is no medical evidence supporting a causal relationship between the Veteran's diagnosis of bilateral upper extremity essential tremor and exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
