Granted
The Board granted service connection for a respiratory disability (other than sleep apnea) and an acquired psychiatric disability, both related to the appellant's active duty for training.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the appellant's respiratory and psychiatric disabilities and his exposure during ACDUTRA, with significant weight given to private medical opinions.
