Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for asthma and denied an increased rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the presumption of aggravation due to in-service exposure to burn pits, while an increased rating for PTSD was not supported by the evidence.
