Denied
The Board denied service connection for Hepatitis C, concluding that the evidence does not show the condition began during active service or is related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found no competent evidence linking the Veteran's Hepatitis C to his military service, particularly the use of air-gun inoculations.
