Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension because the evidence did not show that the veteran's hypertension was related to his military service or due to herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against the claim, as there is no objective medical evidence linking the claimed condition to active-duty service.
