Denied
The Board denied service connection for ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus type II because the evidence did not show a link to military service or herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents or that his conditions are related to service.
