Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, a heart disorder, and diabetes mellitus as the evidence did not support a positive nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions of record concluded that there was no evidence supporting a relationship between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his military service, including exposure to asbestos.
