Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a prostate condition, finding no evidence of a nexus between the condition and his military service, including exposure to Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was less likely than not caused by in-service exposure to Agent Orange, citing age-related changes as the primary cause.
