Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for breathing problems to obtain a more thorough medical examination, as the previous opinion was deemed inadequate due to inconsistencies with the PFT results.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion was found inadequate because it classified the Veteran's breathing problems as strictly subjective and did not address objective abnormalities in the PFT results.
