Denied
The Board denied service connection for a cardiovascular disorder as there was no evidence of an in-service incurrence or that the condition was causally related to service, including any toxic chemical exposure.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 VA examiner opined that the CV disorder was less likely than not caused by the indicated TERAs and there is no evidence of a chronic disease or injury shown in service with subsequent manifestations at a later date.
