The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a pulmonary disorder and hypertension, both related to exposure to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune. The evidence did not show current disabilities.
The deciding factor: There was no confirmed diagnosis of a current pulmonary/respiratory disorder or hypertension disability shown by objective evidence or symptoms arising to the level of functional impairment related to the Veteran's active service.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for specially adapted housing is remanded due to a lack of a VA examination, which was a pre-decisional duty to assist error. The Board must now schedule the Veteran for an examination to determine if his service-connected asthma with restrictive lung disease and chronic hypoxic respiratory failure qualifies him for specially adapted housing.
- Dismissed
The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed as moot because the Veteran's service-connected disabilities resulted in a combined schedular evaluation of at least 70% prior to October 15, 2024, and he was able to maintain employment despite his conditions.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the Veteran's cause of death was not related to his service-connected disabilities and thus denied DIC benefits. The claim for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death is remanded due to a lack of a medical opinion regarding the etiology.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss but has remanded the issue of service connection for a pulmonary disorder due to lack of sufficient medical opinion.
