Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including medical opinions, weighs against a finding of a nexus between the Veteran's lower extremity peripheral neuropathy and any incident of his active service, including exposure to herbicide agents (Agent Orange).
