Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypothyroidism as the evidence did not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's active service, including any exposure to environmental hazards during the Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record was persuasively against finding that the Veteran's hypothyroidism arose during or as a result of her active service, including due to exposure from service in Southwest Asia.
