Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, finding no evidence of in-service exposure to herbicides or a causal relationship between the Veteran's condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The lack of evidence supporting the Veteran's claimed exposure to herbicides during service and the absence of medical evidence linking DM type II to his active duty were determining factors in the decision.
