Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, left lower extremity neuropathy, right lower extremity neuropathy, adrenal gland removal, and low testosterone as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to active-duty service or herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's disabilities had onset in, or are otherwise related to active-duty service, to include herbicide agent exposure on a presumptive or direct basis.
