Denied
The Board denied service connection for Alzheimer's disease, finding that the evidence does not support a relationship between the Veteran's presumed herbicide exposure and his diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
The deciding factor: The VA nurse practitioner opined that the Veteran's Alzheimer's disease is less likely than not caused by herbicide agent exposure, and there is no contrary opinion in the record.
