Denied
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory condition, finding that the evidence does not support the existence of a current disability at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion and medical records did not provide sufficient evidence to establish a link between the Veteran's claimed respiratory condition and his service, particularly given the presence of cardiovascular disabilities for which he is already service-connected.
