Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an effective date of August 10, 2022, for service connection for asthma to include COPD due to the proposed severance of service connection for asthma being inextricably intertwined with this issue.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to adjudicate a proposed severance of service connection for asthma first, as it is inextricably intertwined with the effective date claim.
