Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected restrictive lung disease to correct a duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: A request for outstanding private treatment records needs to be sent to the Veteran, as there was a duty-to-assist error prior to the October 2024 rating decision.
