The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for asthma, finding that the evidence does not support a direct link between the Veteran's asthma and his active military service or any in-service exposure.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions found no evidence of a causal relationship between the Veteran's asthma and either his active service or his service-connected heart disability. The Board also noted that asthma is not associated with exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, despite the Veteran's claims of such exposure.
