Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of a respiratory disability, including chronic cough, has been granted. The decision is based on the veteran's exposure to environmental hazards during Gulf War service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's respiratory disability was directly related to his active duty service and that there was a reasonable doubt regarding service connection which should be resolved in favor of the veteran.
