Remanded (sent back)
The Board found that the reduction of the Veteran's asthma disability rating from 60% to 30% was improper and void ab initio, restoring the 60% rating. The claim for an initial rating in excess of 60% is remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 examination was deemed inadequate due to a failure to adequately explain why certain testing was not performed, rendering the reduction void ab initio.
