Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for asthma as the Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating based on pulmonary function tests and other evidence.
The deciding factor: The FEV-1 post-bronchodilator was 45% predicted, which does not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 30 percent under Diagnostic Code 6602. Additionally, there is no evidence of monthly visits to a physician or intermittent courses of systemic corticosteroids.
