Granted
The Board granted service connection for bronchiectasis, finding the evidence to be in equipoise regarding its relation to asbestos exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's bronchiectasis is related to his service, including exposure to asbestos. The Board finds that the Veteran's bronchiectasis is at least as likely as not related to his asbestos exposure during service and grants service connection.
