Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new examination and medical opinion to determine whether the Veteran has a diagnosis of a respiratory condition other than service-connected bronchitis, to include asthma, and its etiology.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examination was found inadequate due to lack of discussion on methacholine challenge testing and consideration of all possible diagnoses.
