Granted
The Board granted restoration of service connection for lung cancer with COPD and asthma, finding that the severance was improper due to evidence indicating a relationship between the Veteran's condition and in-service asbestos exposure.
The deciding factor: The grant of service connection was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous as there is probative evidence suggesting a link between the Veteran's respiratory condition and his in-service asbestos exposure.
