Granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma and recurrent upper respiratory infection, and assigned a 10 percent rating for hypertension from August 10, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's current conditions are directly related to his in-service respiratory symptoms and treatment, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
