The Board denied service connection for monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance, hypertension, and peripheral neuropathy in all extremities as there was no evidence to support the Veteran's claims of exposure to herbicide agents or other relevant factors.

The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not reflect that the Veteran had any actual exposure to herbicide agents during his service, nor were there sufficient details provided to establish a credible basis for presumed exposure under the PACT Act or other regulations.
