Partly granted
The Veteran's respiratory disability was granted a 100 percent rating from December 27, 2023, and the TDIU claim prior to that date was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had a Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV-1) worse than 40 percent of the predicted value and required daily use of systemic oral corticosteroids from December 27, 2023.
