Denied
The Board denied service connection for Bell's palsy, finding no evidence linking the condition to the Veteran's military service or presumed exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's Bell's palsy is not related to his military service, including his presumed exposure to contaminants in the water supply systems at Camp Lejeune.
