Remanded (sent back)
The Board is remanding the issue of service connection for a recurrent respiratory disability to include asthma and bronchitis claimed as the result of herbicide agent exposure due to an inadequate VA respiratory evaluation and the need for additional clinical documentation.
The deciding factor: The VA respiratory evaluations were deemed inadequate, and the Board must request additional clinical documentation from the Veteran's healthcare providers.
