Denied
The Board denied service connection for a thyroid condition, hypertension, skin cancer, and type II diabetes as the evidence did not support a finding of exposure to herbicide agents during service or a link between the conditions and service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence was against a finding that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service in Korea, and there was no evidence linking the current disabilities to service on a direct basis.
