Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy in all extremities due to lack of evidence linking these conditions to the veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no probative evidence of actual exposure to an herbicide agent or any other service-related cause for the claimed conditions.
