Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for reactive airway disease as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable diagnostic code.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's FEV-1 was 86 percent, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 6602.
