The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a cervical polyp disability, to include cancerous cervical polyps, and skin disabilities of bilateral feet due to lack of evidence supporting current disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran has a current cervical polyp or skin disability related to her in-service exposure to toxins at Moffett Field.
