Granted
The Board granted service connection for right pectoral strain, finding it related to an injury incurred during a period of active duty for training (ACDUTRA).
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examiner provided a clear opinion linking the current condition to the in-service injury, and the Board resolved any doubt in favor of the appellant.
