What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.

- Denied
The Veteran's allergic asthma does not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 10 percent.
- Denied
The veteran's allergic asthma is not manifested by pulmonary function tests that show a Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV-1) at one second of between 40 and 55 percent of predicted value or the ratio of Forced Expiratory Volume at one second to Forced Vital Capacity (FEV-1/FVC) to be between 40 and 55 percent; a need for at least monthly visits to a physician for required care of exacerbations; or at least three courses of systemic corticosteroids per year. Therefore, the criteria for an evaluation in excess of 30 percent have not been met.
