Denied
The Board denied service connection for cerebral arterial aneurysm, fibromuscular dysplasia, diverticulosis to include colon polyp, and iron deficiency anemia as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical opinions established that the Veteran's cerebral arterial aneurysm, fibromuscular dysplasia, diverticulosis to include colon polyp, and iron deficiency anemia are less likely than not caused by his in-service exposure to jet fuel.
