Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for vertigo and lightheadedness with nausea, finding that it was not related to in-service Agent Orange exposure or secondary to his service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions provided were more probative than the Veteran's statements as they were based on accurate medical history and clear conclusions supported by data.
