Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma and denied an earlier effective date for a disability rating of right lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance that the Veteran's asthma is related to military service, but there was no continuous pursuit or factually ascertainable increase in severity within one year prior to filing the increased rating claim.
