Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lung disability, finding that the Veteran's current condition was at least as likely as not caused by asbestos exposure during his active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's in-service asbestos exposure and his current lung disability based on medical evidence and consistent statements from the Veteran.
