The Board granted service connection for allergic rhinitis under the PACT Act and denied or remanded other claims.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's qualifying service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations, presumed exposure to fine particulate matter, and diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. Other claims were either denied due to lack of evidence of a current disability or remanded for further development.
