Denied
The Board denied service connection for an IGG4-related disease and/or idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IHP) as the evidence did not show a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's military service, including any toxic exposures.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's IGG4-related disease and/or idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis and his military service, including herbicide exposure or other toxic exposures.
