Denied
The Board denied service connection for neuropathy of the left upper extremity as there is no evidence that it was incurred in or caused by service, and it did not manifest within one year of separation from service.
The deciding factor: The record does not suggest a link between the claimed condition and service, including any toxic exposure risk activity, and there are opinions that the diagnosed disorders are not related to such activities.
