Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, left foot neuropathy, right foot neuropathy, left hand neuropathy, and right hand neuropathy as they are not related to the Veteran's Gulf War environmental exposures or otherwise related to his service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's diagnosed conditions are related to his in-service exposure to oil well fire smoke or any other Gulf War-related factors.
