Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a parotid gland nodule, finding no evidence that it was related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner determined the Veteran's condition was less likely than not caused by in-service toxic exposure and other factors, and there is no objective evidence of a silica deposit in his left jaw.
