Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for hepatitis C, finding that the evidence does not support a link between her condition and her active service.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence of record establishes that the Veteran's HCV is less likely related to service, including in-service air gun inoculations and accidental needle sticks.
