Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for Meniere's disease, finding the evidence to be in at least approximate balance that it is related to the Veteran's military service. The asthma claim was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The medical nexus between the Veteran's current Meniere's disease and his military service was established based on a VA medical opinion and the benefit of the doubt rule, while the asthma claim required additional evidence due to lack of a VA medical nexus opinion.
