Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and remanded the claims for asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic rhinitis, and an immune disorder due to a need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypertension did not manifest within one year of active service and there was no evidence linking it to in-service events. The Board found that a medical examination was necessary for the other respiratory conditions but had not been provided at the time of decision.
