Partly grantedPACT Act
Service connection for pseudofolliculitis barbae and chronic rhinitis is granted. The back and left knee disability claims are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current pseudofolliculitis barbae was manifest in service and is medically considered to be a chronic condition, and that the PACT Act presumes service connection for chronic rhinitis due to toxic in-service exposures.
