Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for asthma, dyspnea, and emphysema as the Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The FEV-1 and FEV-1/FVC readings from the VA examinations were outside the parameters necessary to obtain an evaluation of 30 percent or higher under Diagnostic Codes 6602 and 6603, respectively.
