The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for chronic angioedema, finding that new and relevant evidence supports this decision. The condition was diagnosed during active duty and is linked to a pre-existing service-connected condition (chronic urticaria).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current diagnosis of chronic angioedema was present during his active-duty service and is related to his already-service connected condition, chronic urticaria.
