Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial compensable disability rating for chronic bronchitis to schedule a new examination with pulmonary function testing.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 respiratory examination was inadequate due to poor effort, and repeat pulmonary function testing is required to properly rate the Veteran's condition.
