Partly granted
The veteran's effective date for service connection of asthma was granted as August 5, 2021. The claim for an increased rating for PTSD was remanded due to missing private treatment records.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the presumptive service connection for asthma due to exposure to fine particulate matter during Gulf War service.
