Denied
The Board denied service connection for pulmonary embolism as there is no evidence linking the condition to the Veteran's service, including any exposure to herbicides.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examiner's opinion was highly probative and found that the Veteran's pulmonary embolism was less likely than not caused by his TERA exposures.
