Denied
The Board denied service connection for essential tremor, bullous emphysema, COPD, and a pulmonary nodule as the evidence did not support a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's in-service exposures to herbicide agents, asbestos, and lead.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence weighed against a nexus between the Veteran's essential tremor, bullous emphysema, COPD, and pulmonary nodule and his in-service exposure to herbicide agents, asbestos, and lead.
