Denied
The Board denied service connection for asthma and pulmonary conditions on an accrued benefits basis, finding that the Veteran's conditions were not related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion in September 2024 opined that it is less likely than not that the Veteran's asthma or pulmonary conditions were due to his exposure to herbicide agents or contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, and there was no evidence of worsening of pre-existing asthma during service.
