Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic bronchitis, finding that the Veteran's condition had its onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by Dr. S.S., who has treated the Veteran for over 20 years, directly linked the Veteran's chronic bronchitis to his in-service exposure to various industrial solvents and other substances, which served as pulmonary irritants.
