Denied
The Board denied service connection for a femoral/inguinal hernia disability as the evidence did not support that it began during active service or was related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA medical examiner opined that the current disability was less likely than not related to service, and there was no chronicity of care following separation from service.
