Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for another medical opinion to address the Veteran's respiratory disability, as previous opinions were not thorough.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinions did not contain a rationale and did not address all evidence of record, including information submitted by the Veteran regarding diving and welding.
