Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension on bases other than the PACT Act because the evidence did not show a relationship between these conditions and the veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against a finding that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during service.
