Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for OSA, COPD, and problems breathing through the nose to obtain a VA medical opinion that addresses the Veteran's diagnosed asthma and in-service respiratory symptoms.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate VA medical opinions that failed to address the Veteran's diagnosed asthma and in-service respiratory symptoms.
