Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for entitlement to service connection for asthma due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as no adequate opinion addressing the etiological relationship between the Veteran's asthma and his in-service toxic exposures has been provided.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 and February 2025 opinions were found inadequate because they did not adequately address the combined effect of all toxic exposure risk activities identified on the January 2025 TERA memorandum.
