The Board denied the claim for service connection for an eye disability, to include as secondary to service-connected Parkinson's disease.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA examination report concluded that the Veteran's eye disability was less likely than not proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected conditions and TERA participation.
