Denied
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, circulation problems in the legs, and strokes as they were not related to his active military service or service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's COD was related to his active military service or service-connected disabilities. The Board also found no evidence supporting secondary service connection for circulation problems in the legs and strokes.
