Granted
The Board granted service connection for Crohn's disease, resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran and finding that his current disability had its onset during active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a continuity of symptoms since service, despite the lack of documentation at the time of discharge, and the delay in diagnosis is consistent with typical cases of Crohn's disease.
