Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a disability rating of 30 percent for asthma with COPD prior to October 30, 2024, but the claim for a higher rating was denied.
The deciding factor: The FEV-1/FVC ratio and daily inhalational or oral bronchodilator therapy met the criteria for a 30 percent rating, but no higher, under Diagnostic Code 6602. The evidence did not support a higher rating under either Diagnostic Code 6602 or 6604.
