Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent from August 4, 2023 for asthma with COPD to schedule a VA examination to clarify the Veteran's DLCO score in terms of percent predicted.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error where the DLCO test result was not measured as a percentage predicted.
