The Board has withdrawn the issue of entitlement to service connection for any acquired psychiatric disorder and has remanded the issue of service connection for bronchial asthma.
The deciding factor: The decision was made based on a request by the appellant's representative to withdraw the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, and the case is being remanded due to procedural issues and the need for clarification regarding the etiology of the Veteran's bronchial asthma.
