Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's chronic cough based on pulmonary function test results that did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The FEV-1 and FEV-1/FVC values were within the range of normal, and there was no evidence of more severe complaints or findings to support a compensable rating.
