Granted
The Board revised the February 1998 rating decision to grant an initial rating of 30 percent for asthma, effective December 1, 1997.
The deciding factor: The error in the February 1998 rating decision was outcome-determinative as it failed to apply Diagnostic Code 6602 correctly by not considering the Veteran's use of Azmacort, an inhalational anti-inflammatory medication, which warranted a higher initial evaluation.
