Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an in-person examination and new pulmonary function testing to assess the current severity of the Veteran's asthma with air trapping.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination is inadequate due to the Veteran's reported worsening condition, and a new examination is necessary to provide an accurate assessment.
