The Veteran's service-connected asthma with allergic rhinitis was granted, but the initial evaluation assigned is noncompensable. The Board requested additional medical records to support the claim.
The deciding factor: The Veteran required intermittent inhalational or oral bronchodilator therapy for her respiratory disability and no treatment records were found in the claims folder.
