Denied
The Board denied service connection for coronary artery disease, status post CABG and diabetes mellitus, type II as the Veteran was not shown to have been exposed to herbicides in service and these conditions were not otherwise related to active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's coronary artery disease or diabetes mellitus, type II had their onset during service, were caused by exposure to herbicides, or were otherwise related to his active duty service.
