The Board remands the claims for service connection for allergies and ANCA vasculitis of the lungs to correct duty to assist errors that occurred prior to the November 2023 AOJ rating decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal must be remanded because the November 2023 examiner did not use the correct evidentiary standard in opining that the Veteran's allergies disability pre-existed active service, and there is no clear and unmistakable evidence that her allergies existed prior to service. The question of direct service connection remains.
