Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a PCAFC medical opinion and to issue an adequate notice of decision.
The deciding factor: The VFAI is inadequate as it primarily relies on records from two years prior, does not address the Veteran's worsening respiratory condition, and fails to provide adequate notice under 38 U.S.C. § 5104.
