Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The September 2020 VA medical opinions provided a positive nexus between the Veteran's current asthma and his exposure to particulate matter from burn pits during service, leading to the grant of service connection.
