The Board denied service connection for a skin condition, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the Veteran's current skin conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that there is no evidence of a skin condition during service or within one year of separation, and the first evidence of a dermatologic condition in the records is in 2017, more than 40 years post-service. The examiner also noted that none of the conditions are associated with Agent Orange exposure.
