Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for lung condition, to include asthma, COPD, emphysema, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's respiratory condition manifested during active duty or was otherwise related to an event, injury, or disease incurred during service.
