Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for Parkinson's disease, finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's current condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA opinion concluded that the Veteran's Parkinson's disease was less likely than not caused by chemical exposure at Fort Bragg, while the May 2023 and June 2024 opinions were found to be less probative due to their lack of specific rationale.
