Denied
The Board denied service connection for a lung disorder, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease, finding no evidence linking the Veteran's current conditions to his military service, specifically exposure to Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's lung disorders and his in-service Agent Orange exposure.
