The Board granted service connection for asthma prior to August 10, 2022, and as of that date under the PACT Act. The claims for other disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's asthma was found to be directly related to his service, with presumptive service connection also granted under the PACT Act due to toxic exposure during service.
