Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to obtain an adequate examination that clarifies whether high dose corticosteroids or immuno-suppressive medications are required for the Veteran's asthma, as well as to address other inconsistencies in the medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The January 2020 VA examination was found inadequate due to a lack of clarity regarding the use of high dose corticosteroids and immuno-suppressive medications, which is necessary for rating purposes.
