Denied
The Board denied service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death and DIC benefits because the evidence did not show that the Veteran's liver cancer was related to his service or herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's liver cancer and his service, including herbicide exposure.
