Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma and GERD with hiatal hernia, effective from December 5, 2017. The claims for chronic fatigue, herpes simplex, enteritis, and left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of service connection for the claimed conditions other than asthma and GERD with hiatal hernia, which were granted based on presumptive exposure to particulate matter during military service.
