Denied
The Board denied an increased disability rating in excess of 60 percent for bronchial asthma based on the evidence showing that the criteria for a higher rating were not met.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's asthma did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as his pulmonary function tests and symptoms did not indicate more severe impairment than currently rated.
