Granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor due to conceded toxic exposure risk activity during his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a causal relationship between the Veteran's current asthma and his in-service toxic exposures based on medical literature and lay testimony.
