Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, but remanded the claims for ischemic heart disease and prostate cancer due to duty-to-assist errors.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's asthma is related to in-service asbestos exposure based on a favorable medical opinion. The other conditions require further development of evidence regarding their relationship to service.
