Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 20 percent rating for cervical strain, denied a compensable rating for bronchitis, and denied service connection for asthma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's cervical strain symptomatology more nearly approximated forward flexion of the cervical spine greater than 15 degrees but not greater than 30 degrees, while her bronchitis and asthma were not supported by persuasive evidence.
