Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diabetes mellitus, and peripheral neuropathy in both lower extremities as there was no evidence of an in-service event, disease, or injury related to these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents or any other in-service event, disease, or injury related to his claimed disabilities.
