The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a respiratory condition, to include asthma, as there was no evidence of a chronic respiratory condition in service or within one year of discharge and the current condition is more likely related to post-service events.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's respiratory condition, to include asthma, had its onset during active service or manifested to a compensable degree within one year of service. The Board found the most credible and persuasive evidence was against a finding of recurrent and/or persistent symptoms since service.
