Denied
The Board denied service connection for congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary fibrosis as these conditions were not related to the Veteran's service, including his exposure to Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a nexus between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's service, including any exposure to herbicide agents such as Agent Orange.
