Granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, finding that the Veteran's preexisting condition was aggravated beyond its natural progression by his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding of aggravation due to in-service exposure to cold weather and an acute sensitization of the lungs during basic training.
