The Board denied service connection for the veteran's right and left hand rash, finding no evidence that the conditions began during active service or are related to in-service injury or disease, including exposure to burn pits and other toxins.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran's bilateral hand rash began during active service or is otherwise etiologically related to an in-service injury or disease.
