Denied
The Board denied service connection for dry eye syndrome, right hip tendinopathy, and left hip tendinopathy. The evidence was persuasively against a finding that these conditions are related to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that the conditions were 'less likely than not' caused by the Veteran's toxic exposure activities.
