Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for colon cancer, finding that there is no evidence to support a link between his condition and active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran did not participate in an in-service TERA and that the competent record evidence does not show his colon cancer is related to active service or any incident of service, including as due to his alleged in-service participation in a TERA.
