Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a respiratory disability, as there was no evidence of a current respiratory condition during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: There was no competent evidence showing a current respiratory disability, and the VA examiner found that the Veteran did not have any underlying respiratory condition to explain his symptoms of shortness of breath.
