Denied
The Board denied service connection for emphysema, prostate cancer, and coronary artery disease as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active duty or asbestos exposure.
The deciding factor: There was no persuasive medical evidence linking the Veteran's current conditions to his military service or asbestos exposure.
