Denied
The Board denied service connection for Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism as the evidence did not support a link to in-service exposure or an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions, along with the lack of in-service symptoms, provided sufficient evidence against a finding of service connection.
