Partly grantedPACT Act
The Veteran's claim for service connection for bronchial asthma was granted, while the claim for tuberculosis was denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection for asthma was granted on a presumptive basis due to presumed exposure to burn pit toxins during active duty in Southwest Asia. There was no evidence of current or past pulmonary tuberculosis to support a grant of service connection for that condition.
