Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, which was due to atherosclerotic heart disease.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that the Veteran's atherosclerotic heart disease was incurred in or caused by his active duty service. The record does not show any herbicide exposure during service and there are no STRs available to support the claim.
