Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for inclusion body myositis, finding no evidence that it was related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's inclusion body myositis is less likely than not caused by his in-service exposure to herbicides or other environmental hazards.
