Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, a heart condition, multiple myeloma, anemia, tinnitus, and a kidney condition. The Veteran's claims were based on alleged exposure to Agent Orange during his service in Okinawa.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents or that his conditions are related to service.
