Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for service connection for chronic bronchitis, asthma, sinusitis, and rhinitis, as well as for service connection for right and left ankle disabilities. The Board acknowledged additional evidence but noted that further development is needed.
The deciding factor: The Board found that remand was warranted to develop these claims further, including obtaining additional medical opinions and records.
