Denied
The Board denied service connection for bladder cancer as there was no evidence of exposure to herbicides, radiation, or burn pits during the veteran's service. The disease did not manifest in service and is not otherwise related to an in-service event, injury, or disease.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against finding that the Veteran was exposed to any relevant environmental hazards during his service, and there is no evidence establishing a link between the bladder cancer and his military service.
