Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine the current nature of any identified respiratory disability and its relationship to active service, specifically addressing the Veteran's in-service pneumonia.
The deciding factor: The examination reports are found to be of limited probative value due to deficiencies, necessitating further evaluation by a medical doctor.
