Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for shortness of breath, finding no credible evidence linking the condition to his National Guard service.
The deciding factor: The appellant's statements were found to be lacking in credibility due to inconsistencies and a lack of contemporaneous medical evidence supporting the onset of the condition during service.
