Denied
The Board denied service connection for asbestosis, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rhinitis, sinusitis, and asthma. The Veteran's bilateral hearing loss was also denied a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: There is no competent or credible evidence to support the claims of service connection or entitlement to any compensable rating for the veteran's conditions during the appeal period.
