Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for asthma and spontaneous left pneumothorax was denied. The claim for a higher rating for traumatic brain injury (TBI) was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of sufficient medical evidence to warrant a compensable rating for asthma and spontaneous left pneumothorax, and the need for a new examination to assess the current severity of TBI symptoms.
