Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus (DM) type II and prostate cancer, finding no evidence of in-service incurrence or a causal relationship to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support direct causation or any form of presumptive service connection due to lack of in-service symptoms, diagnosis, or continuity of symptomatology within one year of separation from service.
