Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between the conditions and the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient medical evidence to support a causal relationship between the Veteran's diagnosed conditions and his active military service, including any participation in toxic exposure risk activities.
