Denied
The Board denied service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and compensation pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for the same condition, finding that there was no evidence linking the Veteran's current condition to his military service or any VA treatment.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and either his military service or any VA treatment he received in 1977, as there was no clinical correlation found in current medical literature.
