Denied
The Board denied service connection for a disorder manifested by fatigue and a heart disorder, as there was no evidence of current disabilities related to these conditions during the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examiner's opinion that the claimed disorders were less likely than not caused by in-service exposure to herbicide agents, along with the absence of a current diagnosis of fatigue or heart disorder, led to the denial of service connection.
