Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma based on presumed exposure to fine particulate matter or participation in TERA during service. The claim for an increased rating for chronic sinusitis was denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection for the claimed conditions was granted due to presumptive exposure to environmental hazards during service, except for chronic sinusitis which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating based on the evidence of record.
