Denied
The Board denied service connection for benign tremors, COPD, prostate cancer, and heart disease as the evidence did not support a conclusion that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not persuasive to establish a nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his period of service, including exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
