Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chest pain (claimed as a respiratory disability) to schedule the Veteran for another VA examination with all necessary testing for a diagnosis and an etiology opinion.
The deciding factor: Further evaluation is needed due to the Veteran's reported symptoms that were not adequately addressed in the previous examination, including sudden sharp pain in his right lung twice per month.
