Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic bronchitis due to the lack of a current diagnosis and evidence linking it to active service. The claim for reactive airway disease (claimed as asthma) was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: There is no current diagnosis of chronic bronchitis, and the Veteran's reported symptoms do not meet the criteria for a current disability related to his active service.
