Partly granted
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 60 percent for asthma and chronic bronchitis, granted service connection for costochondritis secondary to the service-connected conditions, and denied special monthly compensation based on housebound status or aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 6602, but she was found to have costochondritis that is secondary to her service-connected asthma and chronic bronchitis.
