Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and migraine headaches, as there was no evidence of in-service exposure to herbicide agents or a direct link to service. The claim for skin cancer was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have the requisite service to be presumed exposed to herbicide agents, and there was no credible evidence of such exposure or a direct link to his claimed conditions during service.
