GrantedPACT Act
The veteran's claims for service connection for migraines and asthma were granted. The migraines are directly related to military service, and the asthma is presumptively associated with exposure to fine particulate matter in Southwest Asia.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was received regarding the veteran's migraines, and the veteran's service in Southwest Asia during the Persian Gulf War qualifies for presumptive service connection for asthma.
