Granted
The Board granted service connection for pseudofolliculitis barbae based on the evidence showing its onset during active duty and continuity of symptoms since then.
The deciding factor: The decision was made in favor of the Veteran, resolving reasonable doubt given his lay account of observable symptomatology and the diagnosis remaining 'the same' since 2004.
