Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for hypertension and congestive heart failure, finding no credible evidence of herbicide exposure or a link to service.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence did not reflect that the Veteran was exposed to an herbicide agent during his military service, and there was no credible evidence linking either condition to service.
