Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for the service-connected chronic bronchitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's chronic bronchitis symptomatology more nearly approximates FEV-1 of 71- to 80-percent predicted, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
