Partly granted
The Board granted an initial compensable rating of 60 percent for asbestosis but remanded the claim for service connection for lung infection due to insufficient medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The pre-bronchodilator FVC result at 59 percent predicted warranted a 60 percent rating, and further evidence was needed regarding the Veteran's lung infection claim.
