Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral chondromalacia and dismissed the appeal for service connection for asthma due to untimely filing.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's pre-existing bilateral chondromalacia was aggravated by his military service, and the appeal for asthma was filed outside of the one-year appeal period without a valid extension request.
