Denied
The Board denied service connection for peripheral neuropathy of the right and left lower extremities as they did not originate in service or within a year after service, and were not related to any established in-service exposures.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's peripheral neuropathy was not shown to have originated during his active duty service or within one year thereafter. There was no evidence of relevant in-service events such as tactical herbicide exposure that could support the claim for service connection.
