Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic bronchitis, finding the evidence to be in approximate balance and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's current chronic bronchitis is related to his in-service toxic exposures, including diesel fumes, gas, and burn pits.
