The Board has determined that the veteran's reactive airway disease is related to his military service, and thus grants entitlement to service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found a diagnosis of reactive airway disease during the veteran's military service and post-service treatment records showed continuity of symptoms.
