The Veteran's claim for service connection for fibrocystic breasts with interductal hyperplasia and atypical squamous cells of the cervix was granted. The claim for increased evaluation for miliary tuberculosis was denied as there is no current disability due to inactive tuberculosis.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not establish that the Veteran's inactive tuberculosis resulted in current findings of obstructive lung disease or reduced DLCO, and the examiner opined that the inactive tuberculosis does not contribute to symptoms of other lung disorders.
