Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent initial rating for asthma, but remanded the claim for service connection of pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's asthma met the criteria for a 30 percent rating based on pulmonary function test results, while the evidence was insufficient to establish a direct link between PFB and military service.
