The Board denied service connection for hypertension and eye disorder (also claimed as glaucoma) due to a lack of evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner determined that there is no medical or scientific evidence supporting a relationship between the Veteran's hypertension, eye disorder, and toxic exposure during his service. The Veteran did not present competent and credible evidence of continuity of symptomatology for either condition after discharge from service.
