Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service-connection claim for asthma as the VA examination is found to be inadequate.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination was deemed inadequate due to an interpretation of the Veteran's lay statements that his asthma pre-existed his service, which the Board finds unsupported by clear and unmistakable evidence.
