Partly granted
The Veteran's asthma was granted a 30 percent rating from January 30, 2024, but no higher or earlier. Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and mild degenerative joint disease of the left shoulder was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's asthma symptoms more nearly approximated a 30 percent disability rating based on post-bronchodilator FEV-1 results, but no higher or earlier. The evidence did not support service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome or mild degenerative joint disease of the left shoulder.
