Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer and diabetes mellitus, type II as there was no evidence of in-service exposure to herbicide agents or asbestos, and the conditions did not manifest during service or within one year of discharge.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were denied due to lack of evidence supporting a direct link between his disabilities and his military service, including any exposure to herbicide agents or asbestos.
