Granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, finding a positive medical nexus to the Veteran's toxic exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examiner opined that it was at least as likely as not that the Veteran's asthma was related to his toxic exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune from May 1986 to December 1987.
