The Board has granted service connection for motion sickness, finding that it is at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's motion sickness began during his active service and worsened significantly, leading to a loss of flight status. The condition was not present prior to enlistment and clearly aggravated by service.
