Denied
The Board denied service connection for Type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, IHD, and erectile dysfunction as the weight of the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was persuasively against a finding that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents during his service, and there was no other in-service incurrence or aggravation of an injury or disease that could be linked to these conditions.
