Denied
The Board denied service connection for essential tremors as the probative evidence did not support a finding that they were causally related to in-service toxic exposure.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner's opinion was considered more credible, stating it was less likely than not that the Veteran's essential tremors were caused by his TERA exposure.
