Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for shortness of breath to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically regarding an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA examination did not adequately address whether the Veteran's symptoms are attributable to a specific diagnosis or if they are signs or symptoms of an undiagnosed illness or MUCMI.
