The Board granted a 100 percent disability rating for asthma and remanded the claim for service connection for eczema.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports that the Veteran's asthma requires daily use of systemic (oral or parenteral) high dose corticosteroids or immuno-suppressive medications, warranting a 100 percent disability rating. A VA medical opinion is required to address the Veteran's claim for service connection for eczema under the PACT Act.
