Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for pulmonary fibrosis to correct errors that occurred prior to issuance of the August 2025 rating decision, including obtaining an adequate examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence addressing the Veteran's contention regarding his post-covid lung condition being made worse by in-service exposures.
