The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II and neuropathy of the extremities due to in-service exposure to herbicide agents. The claims for a sinus disorder and facial skin disorder were remanded.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's diabetes mellitus, type II, left lower extremity neuropathy, right lower extremity neuropathy, left upper extremity neuropathy, and right upper extremity neuropathy are related to his service or a service-connected disability. The claims for a sinus disorder and facial skin disorder were remanded due to insufficient evidence.
