Denied
The Board denied service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, which was respiratory failure due to end stage glioblastoma, as there is no evidence linking it to his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a link between the Veteran's glioblastoma and his military service, including potential Agent Orange exposure.
