The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer as the evidence did not support a finding that it was incurred in or caused by active service, to include exposure to herbicides and diesel/jet fuels.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record is against a finding that the Veteran was exposed to an herbicide agent during active service, prohibiting service connection on a presumptive basis. Additionally, there is no credible evidence supporting direct service connection for prostate cancer based on in-service exposure to diesel or jet fuel.
